Greetings to all my website visitors!
The quality of your day and your life depends on knowing how to relate to your emotions, memories, reality and people that matter. It is rare to find people who come into adulthood knowing how to do this effectively. That is why anxiety, depression, addictions, insecurity, chronic health issues and relationship problems are so rampant. You deserve someone who will help you get to know yourself deeply, thoroughly and with compassion. You need to recognize and heal the ordeals you have been through. It’s important to identify your unmet needs and healthy ways to fill them. It’s time to learn life skills you were never taught. It will make all the difference in the world.
I have been a psychotherapist since 1990 and feel blessed to have found this profession. What I believe makes me a trustworthy, effective and empathetic guide is the fact that I personally know the courage, honesty and perseverance it takes to do this inner work. Exploring vulnerable emotions, traumas, relationship dysfunction, insecurities and blind spots is a hero’s journey. I bring to each session the peace, wisdom and compassion I have gleaned from facing my own emotion-laden life challenges. I don’t just talk the talk, I walk the walk. I’m not above you, I’m with you.
Not all therapists are comfortable with their own and their clients’ vulnerable emotions. The client is then deprived of a more meaningful and empathic connection. When therapists do not focus on developing their clients’ ability to safely explore their emotional life, past and present, therapists are merely skimming the surface. They leave intact the foundation of their clients’ struggles. You can be sure that I will focus on the roots of your difficulties so you can achieve the peace, self-worth and security you deserve.
I share with my clients what I have harvested from decades of professional training and experience. I will introduce you to experiential forms of therapy that go deeper than mere talk therapy. These interventions are not bandaids; they produce deep healing and competency in handling life’s challenges. After years of extensive training, I became certified in EMDR trauma treatment (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in 2006. I became certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) in 2013. Keep in mind, not all therapists who say they offer EMDR have achieved certification or have developed expertise by using it on a regular basis.
I have experience helping clients living with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, addictive behaviors, chronic health problems, insecure relationships, narcissistic abuse, betrayal and abandonment, grief and disturbing emotions that persist and seem to serve no purpose.
Therapy with me includes:
1.a nurturing and secure relationship, something many people have not experienced.
2.EMDR, my clients have healed thousands of traumatic memories.*
3.Skills building, such as mindfulness and how to manage emotions effectively.
4.Inner child work to soothe insecurity.
5.Discussions on many topics such as emotions, trauma, the nervous system, attachment relationships, toxic relationships and how trauma affects the body.
Those of you who choose to make use of my services can be assured of receiving personalized and confidential care, attention and guidance. You can count on my authenticity, optimism, energy, warmth, understanding and professional skills as we work together to achieve the changes you desire.
I invite and encourage you to call me. Allow me to help you feel good in your own skin, mind and heart and become wiser and more effective in your relationships.
