Welcome to my practice!  I am a licensed clinical psychologist and consultant.  I specialize in using science based information and strategies to help my clients change their mindsets, increase self-worth, and overcome negative coping mechanisms.  Areas of specialty include anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, and empowering clients on how to use their mind to change their brain, so that they may reach their potential. My approach is strongly influence by Interpersonal Neurobiology, Psychodynamic Theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also offer EMDR, an evidence based therapy for trauma.
IPNB provides the road map to mental well being and how to use our mind to effect brain change. Psychodynamic theory addresses the underlying emotional issues and provides a framework for healing trauma. ACT provides immediate tools and concrete methods for individuals to begin living their valued life immediately.
The combination of these theories provides a comprehensive model that supports and heals, allowing for lasting change and personal growth.

Your resistance to any emotion, only keeps it around longer. It's as if you are telling your brain, "this is important, be on alert for anything that looks like this, talks like this, walks like this" etc. Any attention put on trying to eliminate a feeling, just sensitizes your brain to it and will actually increase your experience of it. Remember "what we resist, persists".
