About me
I am an experienced (50 years in practice) psychologist with an eclectic, integrative approach to many mental health issues, utilizing a variety of methods so that we can choose the most likely effective plan for you.
With over 50 years of experience in mental health care, I am deeply committed to helping individuals overcome life’s challenges and create meaningful, fulfilling lives. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Clinical Hypnosis, and Energy Therapies, including Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). My approach is integrative, blending these innovative methods with other effective therapeutic modalities such as Gestalt Therapy, Guided Imagery, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/REBT).
I have advanced training in trauma therapies, substance abuse and alcoholism, pain management, and the treatment of anxiety, depression, and a wide range of other mental health issues. Whether you're struggling with unresolved trauma, addiction, chronic pain, or emotional challenges, I provide a compassionate and safe space to explore your concerns and develop tools to thrive.
Every person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my work to meet your specific needs. I combine evidence-based methods with a holistic focus on mind-body integration to help you achieve long-term healing and personal growth. My goal is to empower you, not just to overcome your difficulties, but to build resilience, self-awareness, and a renewed sense of purpose.
