Focused on healing through trauma-informed, body-based care and grounded in family systems theory, I draw on a range of counseling approaches including; psychodynamic, transpersonal, existential, expressive, mindfulness, mind-body, behavioral (DBT and CBT). Together we sojourn toward self-awareness and compassion for self. Emblematic moments from the past may have become conditioned responses to the present. We focus both on here and now and historical events. TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing help re-program stored arousal in the body.
Recovery of wellness is often a staged process of issue identification, problem-solving and deep internal healing. Collaboratively we create customized, innovative, empowering treatments for anger, anxiety, depression, mood, personality, identity, dissociative, delusional sleep disorders, life adjustments, illness, loss, grief, dementia and complex trauma.
As a meditator for over fifty years, I am inured to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy because of its basis in mindfulness. Training to participate in the present moment is a powerful tool. I offer a unique blend of strength-based, positive, goal-oriented therapy combined with life experience and maturity.
