Is your life overwhelming, out-of-control? Are you unmotivated; defeated? Has your self-esteem tanked? Have you lost passion for work...or for life? Are you burned-out? Do you keep trying to succeed but feel you're going nowhere? Have friends said "just get over it" ... something happened to you in the past ...but you just can't seem to shake if off? Change is possible.
My approach is holistic which recognizes the interconnection among mind, body, and spirit within each of us individuals and within the larger context of our environments. Within that framework, CBT & EMDR are powerful therapies for helping you to reach your goals please visit lifefocuscenter.com and our new non-profit venture Life Achievement Center.com.
I am a consultant- level EMDR Practitioner & a Certified Trauma Specialist. I was Adjunct Faculty for 12 years at Alliant International University, teaching CBT & Clinical Interviewing to PhD & PsyD students. I currently supervise MFT & MSW interns on their journey toward licensing, including the substance abuse field.
