Follow Your Bliss
If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.
— Joseph Campbell

Therapy

In my view, folks seeking therapy are intelligent individuals who want assistance or guidance in making things better in their lives and relationships. I help people tap into their own strengths to achieve their goals, both personally and professionally.

I offer both in person and telehealth/video sessions. I see primarily adults, or children and adolescents within the context of family therapy.

Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, problem solving, and meaningful work are areas I address.  Additional areas of interest are trauma, Complex PTSD, addiction, and work related issues.

My approach is eclectic, a combination of cognitive behavioral, insight oriented, and family systems techniques.  I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which can be very effective in the treatment of trauma, anxiety and fears, as well as promoting positive behaviors and a sense of confidence.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful method of psychotherapy that has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress.

HOW WAS EMDR DEVELOPED?

In 1987, psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro made the chance observation that eye movements can reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts, under certain conditions. Dr. Shapiro studied this effect scientifically, and in a 1989 issue of the Journal of Traumatic Stress, she reported success using EMDR to treat victims of trauma. 

Since then, EMDR has developed and evolved through the contributions of therapists and researchers all over the world. Today, EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches.
