My goal is to assist you in learning life skills to thrive and find meaning, joy and love. Our clinic has a warm, supportive environment enabling you to learn more deeply how to live these skills and create a life that makes a "world of difference". We will work together holistically to emphasize your individual positive strengths drawn on for the healing process. These approaches work well for coordinated treatment with other medical providers and professionals (examples: MD's, psychiatrist, chiropractors, massage therapists).
I use brainspotting and am a certified Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reporcessing (EMDR) clinician. Both are innovative, gentle forms of therapy for post-traumatic stress disorders, other emotional concerns and remolding negative beliefs. They use the body's positive, innate ability to eliminate or reduce unresolved trauma and deeply heal.
I offer many therapy options including: cognitive behavioral, supportive, mindfulness, EMDR, brainspotting, brain entrainment, relaxation and natural methods for depression and anxiety. Occasionally, pet therapy is available. Your journey may include outside reading or listening to tapes to build new skills or increase tools available for wellness.
