I am an experienced clinical psychologist for over 30 years. In addition to my private practice I have consulted with local, state, and federal agencies as well as Fortune 500 companies . As a University Professor I trained and supervised graduate students in New York, Texas and California. I genuinely enjoyed problem solving with my patients and improving the quality of their lives. I have found the most important factor is to provide a safe, positive environment. I am skilled in testing identifying areas of concern, making proper diagnoses, and assessing growth in therapy. My practice has included children, adults and families.

I am committed to understanding and meeting the unique needs of each client I work with. My ideal client is someone who is seeking support to navigate through life's challenges and finding a voice to empower themselves. They may be grappling with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, military, trauma, or relationship difficulties.

My ideal client would be motivated, ready and willing to enter into a partnership for problem solving, resolving troubling personal issues and concerns. Addressing, reducing and alleviating symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. Working cohesively as a team together to resolve any areas of concern.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, or relationship challenges? I believe that people are resilient, constantly learning and always growing. Psychotherapy can facilitate this growth so you can live life more fully and with greater ease. I can help you identity and utilize your cognitive and emotional strengths and resources to develop new insights, solve problems, learn skills, increase joy, and live more authentically.

My ideal client is anyone looking to make a change in their lives in order to feel better, look better and achieve a meaningful life. I am a integrated wellness therapist that looks at all aspects of your life and history starting with the basic patterns of food, exercise, and sleep which are the pillars of optimal health. I work with teens, couples, adults and older adults both as a coach, cheer leader and motivator. I specialize in working with people who have experienced any sort of trauma particularly childhood trauma. I am certified in EMDR a very specific intervention for processing through traumatic memories.

Wolkig with all age groups, I offer my years of experience in helping clients achieve life enhancing changes. The hypnotic state allows a person to be more open to suggestion. So-called "POSTHYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS" may improve treatments for many conditions, including: phobias, fears, anxiety, sleep disorder, PTSD, grief and loss. Hypnotherapy can help changing a person's behavior, such as smoking, biting nails, alcohol & drug addiction, obesity, low self esteem and relationship problems. Furthermore, hypnotherapy is particularly useful in treating pain and preparing for surgery. Hypnotherapy proves to be an excellent tool to enhance sport specific skills in golf, tennis, football, baseball and others.

My approach to therapy varies in part because of each individual's unique situation and needs. Early childhood experiences and past trauma have been influential in the development of the person you have become today and as such there may be a need to address old wounds in order to more fully heal. I also incorporate a focus on the present moment (the here-and-now) to address issues that are bringing you in currently---identifying strengths, resources, and solutions to help you improve your situation and feel better in your life now.

I treat individuals and couples. People see me to help ease distress and often to find greater meaning in life and connection in relationships. I work in a relational and supportive way, addressing underlying issues to resolve them. This process can alleviate sadness, anxiety, depression and resolve inner conflicts, while building self esteem and a conscious relationship with your inner self. A fresh perspective enables you to find your strength and courage, to clarify your thinking or even enliven deadened passions. At times psychotherapy can be difficult, but it also creates surprising and meaningful changes in your life.

Whether the distress you are experiencing emanates from internal or external factors, psychotherapy can help. In my many years of practice, it has been my privilege to work hand in hand with my patients to find new pathways of understanding and new options for moving forward.

Oftentimes people believe that therapy is complicated and/or long term, but it does not always have to be. I believe in solution-oriented therapy which helps my clients obtain insight and clarity so that they are able to move beyond the areas that are keeping them "stuck". I take an active and direct approach to helping my clients develop a true sense of self so that they can live happier and more fulfilled lives.

After returning to the Coachella Valley in 2018 and reopening my private practice, I am humbled by hurting yet courageous individuals who have reached out for my help.

It is my goal to meet you in your vulnerable place with unconditional respect and regard and to guide you gently in your journey of recovering.
