I believe anyone can benefit from therapy. Seeing a therapist means you were willing to ask for help in dealing with the overwhelming circumstances that sometimes come your way. We all face times of anxiety and depression, and a little professional guidance can help us not just survive these times, but can result in happier, healthier people for facing the trials. I particularly believe that giving this healing space to children is beneficial; allowing their experiences and emotions to be treated respectfully and resolved empathically can let them move forward and make better choices throughout the rest of their lives.

I specialize in evaluations for children, adolescents and adults which can address a variety of issues such as: diagnosis of emotional issues, cognitive functioning, learning disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, and personality styles.

Welcome! I appreciate you stopping at my page. Stress, depression, anxiety and grief can rob us of the energy to enjoy life and stay connected with the people around us. I became a therapist in the hopes of helping people find peace, happiness and wellbeing. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment wherein you can share your story and we can work together to find meaningful and lasting change.

As an Autism Spectrum Specialist my mission is to the healing and empowerment of children that suffer the misfortune of Autism, Aspergers and assorted learning / developmental challenges. We all desire a clinician and intervention that is both technically astute and competent; but finding an Educator / Teaching Specialist and life coach that actually authentically cares and sees your child as an individual and not a diagnosis; is much more difficult to find.

My practice focuses on the use of Bio- and Neurofeedback to optimize cognitive and emotional function in stress-related disorders, mood and anxiety disorders and ADHD. My ideal client is one who is seeking a therapeutic relationship and who is open to the use of Bio- and Neurofeedback for the brain to bring about results more rapidly than traditional talking therapy.

I am a certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor. I work with couples and families to identify where you are getting stuck, what is getting in the way of a healthy connection, and how to repair the relationship. I work with couple's who are looking to deepen their romantic connection, couples who need help creating a safe haven in their relationship, or couples who feel their relationship is in distress. In marriage therapy and couple's counseling I can help with affairs, addictions, and other attachment injuries. In individuals I offer a safe space to work through the underlying emotional discord.

"Tiowishonia" is a word from the Lakota language. It means soundness of one's mind, heart and spirit. I find it a privilege to work with individuals, couples, and families to achieve this within themselves. Everyone is unique and posses a special gift. By providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment we explore one's life issues in order to resolve the barriers that prevent one from fully embracing their gift and the contribution they have to offer to themselves, their families, and communities. I utilize EMDR (certified) and use Emotional Freedom Technique as methods of treatment. I look forward to meeting you

Being a part of the military can add a complicated layer to life and especially to family life. Not only does the military bring its own culture and obligations, it also brings its own "family" component that can get "tangled" when interwoven. Often times service members and partners find themselves struggling to balance family life with work and military life and when life is out of balance a multitude of issues can arise such as depression and anxiety, not to mention coping with any added stress such as combat experiences or other trauma within or out of the military.

I have many years' experience in and a passion for treating infants, toddlers, preschoolers, children and adolescents and their families dealing with a variety of issues including the following: adjustment difficulties, trauma, divorce, attachment difficulties, social problems, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, and developmental delays. I can provide psychological evaluations when needed to help identify areas of difficulty and of strength, and to guide treatment direction. I also provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents and their families.

Are you an individual, couple, or family seeking new approaches to persistent problems? Together we will work to help you consider alternatives to old habits, create new thoughts, and behaviors. This will help you clarify and achieve your goals and develop an understanding of your life circumstances through your own unique and personal context.

Because everything we do happens here and now, whether it is reflecting on the past, anticipating the future, or simply engaging in the present, how we organize our moments greatly determines how happy we are. Gestalt Therapy is based on this premise. I help my clients develop a stronger sense of themselves and their surroundings, and most importantly, how they get in the way of life's natural rhythm and flow. They invariably grow a deeper acceptance of who they are and thereby become freer to express their authentic selves in accordance with the requirements of the moment.

Most people think you're doing well in life. They can't see how your past has left you feeling not good enough, full of self-doubt. You take responsibility for everything. You do a lot (and are great at some things), but your self-confidence can crumble instantaneously. You are stressed and anxious one minute, ashamed and depressed the next. You're no stranger to panic attacks, irritability, feeling blah, concentration troubles, or feeling numb. Your body is paying the price as well, with chronic tension, insomnia, high blood pressure, or unexplained physical symptoms. Living this way is exhausting!

My awareness of human sexuality rises above my own personal opinion and experiences. I affirm all sexual orientations and transgender experience. I help people reclaim their authentic sexual selves within their particular spiritual/religious/lifeview practice and I tailor my treatment to best fit each individual client. I address a client's sexual issues directly. I don't sidestep the sex part to deal with the other issues in the relationship, although I don't ignore them either. Physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual processes, are all a part of human sexuality and I understand that an integrated approach is necessary.

Dr. Ekemo recently relocated his practice to Auburn, CA from Bellevue Washington. He has been providing psychological services for over 20 years mainly to public safety agencies (pre-employment screening, fitness for duty, critical incident debriefings, job coaching and management consultations). He also specializes in individual Neuropsychological evaluations (brain injuries, dementia etc.) and Risk Management consultations to private sector organizations and HR departments. If you are an employer or school concerned about violence in your work setting; training programs and workshops are available for your staff.

I have over ten years of experience working with children and their families. When one member of the family is hurting, I desire to bring hope and healing for all members of the family. Children and adolescents are my favorite age group to work with because of their spunk and individuality. One of my greatest joys is bringing broken families back together.

My style and beliefs are to create a safe environment within which individuals, couples, and families can explore their issues and challenges. I do this using brief solution focused therapy embedded in a narrative view. This means that I assist people in seeing their lives in a healthy way as they overcome challenges. This occurs in an atmosphere of empowerment and growth.
