| About me |
“My concept of healing is to achieve the most profound & effective treatment effect in the shortest period of time with the least amount of distress.”
Using EMDR, Somatic Experiencing & other powerful cutting-edge mind-body therapies along with traditional psychotherapies, I hold a heart-opening, compassionate and confidential space for you to work in, helping you be successful in achieving your goals in less time than traditional talk psychotherapy.
Feel less anxious, fearful, stuck, or enhance your confidence, ability to perform / follow through / love openly, commit when you want, let go when you want, be fully present and connected in whatever you do.
Here are some of the things I treat:
Anxiety
Depression
Phobias
Shyness
Grief
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Abuse traumas
Accident / Injury traumas
Victims of violence
Relationship difficulties / conflicts / communication problems
Sports performance enhancement
Artistic / Writers / Actors / Creative Performance Blocks
Chronic pain / Fibromyalgia
With 19 years experience as a Psychotherapist, I am devoted to helping my clients achieve their desire for personal empowerment and fulfillment, to "Thrive Rather Than Just Survive". I work to help clients effectively release and change negative core beliefs, undesirable patterns and resolve old issues that keep them from moving forward.
I am a Certified EMDR Therapist - Scientifically proven to create lasting changes; Twice as effective in half the time of standard psychotherapy treatments. EMDR is recognized and supported by several International Mental Health Departments. I work with a wide range of issues but have a particular interest in the following areas: Effects of Trauma / Injury – PTSD / Abuse Survivors / Accident Victims / Sports Injuries; Performance Enhancement for Creative Artists / Actors / Athletes; Chronic Pain Sufferers; Couples / Relationship issues.
“I welcome you to join me in a journey of self discovery!”
