My Approach to Helping

I am an experienced psychotherapist with a specialized practice that combines psychotherapy and hypnosis. I offer an integrative form of treatment that focuses on the psychological, social, spiritual and physical aspects of an individual's experience. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including clinical hypnosis, cognitive therapy, EMDR, expressive art and brief therapy, to tailor treatment to the specific needs of my clients. I am also trained in Biblical Counseling to provide Christian based therapy. I offer individual, couples and family sessions for adults, adolescents and children. Areas of clinical specialty include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, crisis intervention, posttraumatic stress, anger management, grief, spiritual conflict, physical and sexual abuse. Because physical and mental health are inextricably linked, the use of hypnosis is highly effective in the treatment of life stressors that exacerbate health problems. Through the use of clinical hypnosis, I assist patients with specific health management and wellness issues including pain management, sleep disorders, weight management and smoking addiction. My training in Biblical Counseling to provide Christian based therapy is an area of special interest and the framework from which I draw personal and professional perspective. I help individuals explore and identify their personal belief systems to understand how this might be a significant resource in their own experience.
