My Approach to Helping

Hi - I work in a collaborative/relational model with extraordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences that they have not had the opportunity to fully emotionally integrate yet. I use traditional talk therapy, imagery, metaphor, hypnosis and EMDR. Often clients report being disinterested in a formerly distressing topic after treatment. I welcome your questions or comments.
