I offer psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, groups and adult family members with particular respect to healing trauma and healthy transition along the lifespan. I believe that identification, acknowledgement and release of blocked energy transforms emotional experience and becomes a path to authentic personal and spiritual relationship. Therapy is essentially about moving energy. For example, coping skills may be developed in childhood to survive family of origin and cultural projection, and then as we age, pain results from using skills which no longer work and continue to mask the authentic self. Therapy may be about depathologizing, self-forgiveness and developing new coping skills while keeping parts of the original coping skill that still work. I see this as practical spirituality and may use systems, cognitive, developmental, psychodynamic, family-of-origin, ThetaHealing, ACIM, Brainspotting (Certified) EMDR (Certified), EFT, WIEBGE andor other therapeutic elements in the process of healing. Therapy is based on individual need, and so may include exploring confilct resolution as well as development of focusing and self-esteem skills. These theories are also effective in work with adult family members. Developer of Chronic Loss Syndrome. Office location in Washington State: EdmondsSeattle
