Treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, and specialize in the field of addiction. Over 35 continuous years working with drug, alcohol, sex, and love addiction. Trained in Emotional Transformation Therapy, "ETT" (ETT Addiction Certified) my clients receive rapid removal of symptoms and addictive cravings in many cases. With this exciting new cutting edge therapy, people are removing distressing symptoms that they have unsuccessfully attempted to remove for many years, in only minutes to a few sessions. I also use Gestalt Therapy for healing and teach my clients tools to use at home. I am also trained in EMDR since the early 90's.

I am 12 step friendly and very familiar with program. I'm seeing rapid removal of addictive cravings using ETT modality. Most addicts have dual diagnosis, meaning depression and/or anxiety, in addiction to an addiction. My clients are reporting rapid reduction of symptoms with ETT and Gestalt therapy.

My assistant's name is "Scottie"' a mixed terrier who gives lots of love and affection, no extra charge. As a therapist, I am active and directive, giving feedback and being involved in the discussion. I give practical tools to address codependency issues, and I do give homework!
