I help you to see your symptoms as a meaningful response to concerns that you have about your life and yourself. I help you become aware of what is keeping you from living the way you want to live. I help you to get clear about what you want in the way of love, work (expressing yourself) and enjoyment of life and to use your thoughts, feelings, intentions, talents and strengths to get on a path towards satisfying those desires. I help people heal from trauma. I don't believe drugs are good treatment and will help you withdraw from them.
I help people recover from trauma. I am comfortable working with people who are experiencing the symptoms of psychosis. I believe all symptoms are meaningful, somehow functional and potentially useful. I can use a variety of approaches to help you, depending on what works for you.
I don't believe psychotropic drugs are good treatment. They impair your emotional processing and you need to be able to feel your emotions - those fine-tuned feelings that tell you what is important to you, what you care about, what is concerning you - in order to get better.
