SERVICES & TRAININGS
Psychotherapy
35 Years in Private Practice
I see therapy as collaborative, working together towards goals identified by clients. Using structured dialogue, evidence-based interventions, and holding a non-judgmental space, you can confront challenges, work through painful emotions, and better understand yourselves to build resilience and a greater sense of personal agency.
My therapy practice focus includes adolescents, individuals, couples and family therapy, treatment of mood, anxiety, substance use disorders, and trauma.
I fundamentally believe in preserving relationships and people’s inherent capacity for change. This drives how I help you connect with your strengths, understand how you impact others, how others impact you, and how to navigate your larger world and those in it.
By building on your strengths, you are able to focus on practical solutions to problems to make meaningful changes to improve your overall well-being and identify ways to support yourself and live easier, happier lives.
Trauma Treatment
Traumatic events can overwhelm a personal ability to cope, leading to symptoms like flashbacks, hypervigilance, anxiety and emotional numbness. Therapy can provide structured support to process these experiences, reduce symptoms and regain a sense of control, safety, security and well-being.
I use interventions that are designed to help individuals individuals identify and reframe negative thought patterns related to the trauma, strengthen internal resilience, teach coping skills to manage trauma-related distress and gradually exposes individuals to triggers in order to reduce their emotional impact.
Couple’s Therapy
Designed to help couples, married or not, understand and resolve conflicts, improve communication and strengthen their relationship. The therapist works with both partners to identify and address conflicts, communication issues and underlying emotional dynamics. The goal is to foster understanding, enhance communication skills and develop strategies for resolving disagreements in a healthier manner.
Key elements include:
Helping couples learn to express their need and listen effectively.
Developing tools to manage and resolve disagreements without escalating the situation.
Emotional insight to gain deeper understanding of each partner's feelings.
Building strategies to improve intimacy, trust and overall relationship satisfaction.
By addressing both individual and relationship patterns, couples therapy aims to create a supportive environment where partners can work together towards a healthier and stronger relationship.
The goal is to address unresolved issues.
It's about supporting the relationship, enhancing communication and addressing difficulties in a way that strengthens the connection between partners.
Somatic Breathwork
Somatic breathwork is a therapeutic practice that uses conscious, controlled breathing techniques to help individuals access, release and process stored physical, emotional or psychological tension in the body.
It's grounded in the idea that the body holds onto unresolved stress or trauma and by using specific breath patterns - combined with body awareness, movement and sound - people can bring these stuck patterns to the surface for release. This can lead to emotional regulation, nervous system recalibration and increased mind-body connection.
