About My Clients
I work with individual adults and couples. You may be questioning a relationship, wondering whether you and your partner can feel close again, struggling with persistent anxiety or depression, coping with divorce or loss, or knowing that something in your life needs to change without yet knowing what that change should be. You do not have to stay in a place of uncertainty, self doubt, or conflict. Therapy can be a conversation where you find greater clarity about how you want to move forward.
My Background and Approach
As a mature clinician, I'm familiar with much of the arc of life. And my life has been - shall we call it eventful? This includes immigrating twice and living on multiple continents; and working in several careers with later life graduate degrees (JD/MBA, MS). Experiences living and working in different cultures and professions, keeps my mind primed andopen to the unique perspective of each client. I am a specialist in two approaches that have extensive research proving their effectiveness: EFT and EMDR. EFT helps you discover new ways of connecting with yourself and others and has extensive outcome research showing effectiveness for couples therapy and increasing study of EFIT for individuals. EMDR is used to treat trauma, depression and more. In EMDR therapy, you will not be required to recount details of distressing events. EMDR is a clear 8 step process that targets how traumatic or distressing memories are stored in your brain to release their grip on your present life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I will support you in finding your own way forward. Understanding is part of the process, but lasting change often comes from new experiences. Sometimes a small shift in how you experience a situation can open possibilities that were difficult to see before. My approach is compassionate, honest, experiential, based on research but tailored for you. I will meet you where you are and support you in moving toward greater clarity, confidence, and a life and relationships that feel more like your own.
