General Practice Area: I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have successfully helped people who have experienced severe trauma and suffer from Posttraumatic Stress Syndrome. I am Certified in EMDR therapy and work with clients using hypnotherapy, ACT and Cognitive Therapies. I also assist people who need help coping with the daily stressors of life and life changes. I provide stress management counseling, anxiety counseling, depression counseling, grief and loss counseling, couples and marriage counseling (communication, resolving conflict, infidelity, and increased intimacy)using the Gottman Method, and counseling for relationship problems, low self esteem, and adjustment to life changes and transitions. I work with families to overcome parenting challenges, sibling rivalry, balancing work/chores with fun activities, and overall improvement of family life. I help teens and children to build on strengths and develop new coping skills. I use stress management, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and other mind-body techniques in my approach. My approach is tailored to help you move towards healthy choices, growth, and happiness in your life.

Working with people who have experienced severe trauma from natural disasters, war, accidents, assaults, injuries; physical, sexual, emotional abuse, infidelity and also with those who are feeling overwhelmed with life's daily stressors and lack effective ways of coping and finding a sense of balance and peace.
