Healing Relationships... Healing the Self
Psychotherapy helps with depression; anxiety disorders, such as panic attacks, phobias, and post-traumatic stress; marriage, divorce, anger , sex and other relationship issues; adults emotionally, physically or sexually abused as children; grief; womens' issues; stress management and communication. I have over 30 years of counseling and psychotherapy experience. I am a Level 2 EMDR Therapist, a Certified Sex Therapy Diplomate through The American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), and an Approved Consultant in Hypnosis through The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH).
I provide a safe environment and use an active, forthright style to help you:

get to the heart of the problems you are facing and make changes that matter
"rewire" emotional and body triggers so you have more peace and well-being, less pain
change old patterns and meet life challenges in new ways
use existing conflict to breathe new life into relationships
heal wounds from trauma, abuse and neglect

explore sexual concerns and dysfunction
move through grief, including divorce recovery and pet loss

Some of the therapeutic approaches and techniques I use include:

These tools help you learn to face problems with curiousity and presence of mind, rather than with old behavior patterns, allowing new possibilities and opportunities to emerge.
More than 30 years of study and practice allow me to help you define and accomplish your goals in a timely manner. Married over 30 years, I have learned a great deal about nurturing the good in relationships to keep them alive, meeting inevitable difficulties with resolve and creativity, and using problems as motivation to create a path to deep healing. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson, love can make you want to be a better person.
Occasionally I work with an individual or a couple in a relationship beyond repair. If a client decides to end a relatioship, we work toward an ending that is respectful of everyone involved.
I am grateful to have a profession I enjoy, one in which my natural interests and talents are of benefit to my clients. My work is practical, and it goes deep. If this sounds interesting, please call for a consultation.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am available for supervision toward Social Work Licensure and case consultation.
