Are you experiencing repeated conflicts with a child, spouse, or partner and would like some help with communication problems? Have you experienced childhood or adult trauma or abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)? Do you experience episodes of depression, hyperactivity, mania (decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, more talkative, unusually more productive)? Maybe you have concentration and/or attention difficulties, don't seem to be able to finish projects, or have good organization skills. Have you or someone close to you noticed issues related to addiction or dependence (compulsive behaviors) on alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, internet or computer games, or even work or sex?
I offer you an assessment and recommendations. I have experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have operated my private practice for 31 years. I'm skilled in various techniques such as: cognitive/behavioral, EMDR, hypnotherapy, emotionally focused approaches, as well as methods to improve communication patterns. I look forward to hearing from you!
If after an initial consultation we agree I can assist you we will proceed with the best therapy to fit your needs.
