My Approach to Therapy

If you are feeling sad, frustrated, depressed or fearful I can help you to start to releive the feelings right away. And then we can start to change the way you perceive your world. This is the only way to change what you are creating in your life. I do things that seem like "changing the movies in your mind". Once this is done, you see things differently and life gets much easier. One of my favorite teachers says, "Memories buried alive never die, they just come back in a different pair of shoes, a different job, boss, partner... So we have to go in and repair how we perceive those memories which are running your life. I use EMDR combines with IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapies to get a shift in how you perceive yourself and the world at large. Knowing how to change what we hold inside our heads is the key to freedom and happiness. In the 25 years I have been in private practice I have learned many ways to bing this about in an efficient way. My other specialty is in resolving the effects of emotional trauma from: loss of a relationship, spouse , child or any other loved one trauma, emotional or physical fears and phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder anxiety depression , and any traumatic event or events in your life. PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder serious illnesses

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Life can seem empty and meaningless if you are not clear on what your values are. We carry fears that keep us from realizing what we truly would like to create in our lives. I can help you clarify the values that are important to you. We will then set out an action plan based on accomplishing small steps that lead you in the direction of your desires. This is how your gifts can be revealed. Clarifying your values points you in the direction of having a meaning driven life.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

Therapy helps you to know and love yourself. Then you can love others in a deeper and more meaningful way.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

When you become my client, we enter into a relationship The relationship might be shorter or longer in duration, but I like to think of my practice as a ?home base? for you that you can return to when you need it. Client often tell me that having this reassurance gives them a sense of connection that is very healing for them. One of the highest compliments to me is when clients return to do another piece of work with me, or when they refer a friend or colleage to me. I think they recommend me because they know they?re in good hands with me- but you?d have to ask them to know for sure
