About My Clients
If you've suffered hurt, betrayal, or trauma and can't get over it--healing IS possible. Powerful techniques like EMDR can help you find peace again much faster than waiting it out or regular talk therapy alone. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, if you feel terrible about yourself, if you have lost faith in life or can't get along with the people in your life, I would love to hear from you.

My Background and Approach
My clients say they feel safe with me because I listen deeply and compassionately and don't judge. It's very important to me to understand what you are feeling and needing and what you believe. If you're suffering from painful hurts--whether old or new--that you can't get over, I'll suggest EMDR, which is a method of bypassing usual problem-solving methods and going straight to rewiring neural pathways that cause psychological pain. I might help you get perspective by using cognitive-behavioral therapy, which can lead to discovering how you're sabotaging yourself and finding ways to reframe your problems. If your love relationship isn't working, I'll probably use Gottman technique, which emphasizes not just overcoming conflict, but also, building friendship in the relationship. While we'll focus on what is happening NOW in your life, I do believe the past influences behavior and how we experience hurt, and sometimes is important to explore.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that pain and suffering is inevitable in life. How can it not be when we're all scheduled to die, to lose those we love, to age and get sick? The challenge is how to live a meaningful and beautiful and brave life despite the difficulties. And I do think it's possible to let courage and love lead us, to feel great about waking up each day--but we need each other, we need guidance and help sometimes to stay on that track. My mission in life is to offer a helping hand to those who have been knocked down one too many times, to help them recover their courage, discover the hero within, find their purpose, and live their best possible lives.
