Therapy Styles:
I employ a client-centered focus varying techniques to suit the nature of the client's problems. Care is taken in the selection and use of an eclectic therapeutic approach (drawing upon different ideas and theories) which best meets your needs and life goals. I draw upon your thoughts, feelings, self-awareness, behavior, personal values, individual brain processes and body response (as well as genetics), family culture and personal lifestyle, to name a few. Much depends on the experience, skill and warmth of the therapist and on the relationship she establishes with each client. Honesty, sincerity and trust are important components of successful therapy and are integral to the treatment you will receive.

Areas of Expertise:
Life can throw us some horrendous curves. My work has centered around assisting people who have been exposed to traumatic events and are still suffering from the effects of these today. Effects such as sleep disturbances and nightmares, anxiety and hyperarousal, depression, employment difficulties, trouble thinking clearly, anger or rage, substance and behavioral abuse, grief and loss, health issues (i.e., fatigue, chronic headaches, elevated blood pressure, sexual dysfunction), isolationism, and feeling out of control. I practice client-centered solution focused therapy which incorporates a broad array of professional treatment modalities, and, I am committed to paying attention to your needs ... and you. I offer individual, couple, family and group therapy as well as in-home sessions. Pertaining to privacy - your confidentiality will be strictly enforced. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Specializing in the treatment of stress (chronic and traumatic) and associated issues: including, but not limited to, anxiety, eating disorders (adult and teens), addictions, anger management, depression, relational and attachment issues, dual diagnoses, family violence, grief/loss, adoption trauma. NOTE: I am an EMDR certified therapist with advanced endorsements.

TRAUMATIC STRESS
We now know that traumatic events change the survivor psychologically and biologically. Traumas of this magnitude include violent assault, exposure to war or terrorism, vehicular collisions, rape, natural disasters, workplace harassment, abuse (such as domestic violence, child and sexual), and threat to oneself or a loved one's life. Assistance is needed to: identify what is wrong, lower anxiety and depressive feelings, reassociate with others, gain a sense of future, deal with the associated grief and anger, and regain control of emotions (feelings).

Untreated trauma is highly predictive of physical illness (i.e., obesity, diabetes, addiction), disrupted family, alienation and poor career performance.
