My Approach to Therapy

I offer psychotherapy and counseling to individuals and groups for healing trauma and healthy transition along the lifespan. I believe that 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 developing trust, self-forgiveness, and new coping skills while keeping parts of the original coping skill that still work. I may use systems, cognitive, developmental, psychodynamic, family-of-origin, BRAINSPOTTING CERTIFIED, EMDR CERTIFIED, EFT Tapping therapy modalities. Therapy is based on individual need, and so may include exploring conflict resolution as well as focusing and self-esteem skills. Developer of concept Chronic Loss Syndrome (non-death loss).
