Did you feel neglected and unloved when you were a child? Did you feel lonely and ostracized if you tried to tell your parents or other adults about your feelings or if you tried to ask them questions about life? In your adult life, do you have difficulty relating to others? Do you feel depressed and alienated from others? Do you have difficulty knowing your own feelings or how you feel in your own body? Are you afraid to trust yourself, to be yourself? I've worked for 20 years with adults abused, traumatized, and/or neglected in childhood. .
I've studied in depth and continue to study Attachment, Trauma, and Gestalt and Body-Centered Therapy, the theories that show that persons who suffer PTSD, psychiatric and emotional problems in adulthood have suffered abuse and neglect in their childhood. These theories teach interventions that will return the abused persons to health.
I continue to study the various therapies that help abused and traumatized persons return to health. and I continue my own therapy to make sure my human failings don't interfere with the therapy for my clients. I believe strongly in helping clients trust themselves. I also charge on a sliding scale.
