There are many reasons why people consider working with a psychologist. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing psychological issues, or perhaps to focus on more immediate problems with situational anxiety or depression. Some people seek therapy in response to unexpected changes in their lives, such as the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or some other personal or professional transition. As a solution-focused psychotherapist who focuses on clients' strengths, rather than pathology, my goal is to help you to actualize your unique, authentic self so that you can discover your own answers and find the path that leads to the change and healing you seek. Thus, you uncover your full potential, enabling you to live a richer, fuller life.
Integrating complementary approaches, I draw from a variety of methodologies to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. In addition to traditional "talk therapy," we may address your shorter-term goals or explore longer-term healing using creative, effective methods that relieve symptoms and help you to develop emotional and spiritual resilience. I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist with the resolution of unhealed trauma, and hypnotherapy (Clinical Hypnosis) to address issues such as anxiety, phobias, self-esteem issues, performance enhancement, habit elimination, weight management, smoking cessation, and pain management, to name just a few. Combining my professional training, life experience, sense of humor, and long-term practice of meditation, I help each client to be more present in order to become attuned to the identity, the goals, and the unique path right for him or her.
I work with individuals and couples, sharing my experience and skills in the service of self-discovery, fostering the uncovering of innate wisdom and creativity, leading to the experience of healing, empowerment, joy, and both individual and interpersonal fulfillment. You may wish to consult with me as you pursue your own personal exploration and growth. Psychotherapy can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all types of life challenges. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs to help you attain the personal growth you desire. We work together to develop strengths, alleviate difficulties, and achieve life goals. In our partnership, we include in our focus your emotional, intellectual, relational, and spiritual needs.
