Introduction
Life is a series of transitions. Some are easier to navigate than others. Often our experiences and patterns limit our response to challenges and keep us stuck in unsatisfying relationships and situations. Together, in a safe and supportive environment, we can examine what has been working well for you and how your life might change with a different approach to challenges and relationships. We can work together to make the next stage of your life more fulfilling, empowering, and satisfying.
I work with adults of all ages, couples, traumatized clients, women in all stages of life transitions, and families.
My work is based on the following frameworks:
- Brief, Solution Focused Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Family Therapy
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (Tapping)
- Gottman Method Techniques with Couples
One approach that I have found effective when working with clients of all life stages is called “tapping,” or emotional freedom techniques. This is a quick and easy to utilize practice that can bring about healing from:
- Trauma
- Loss
- Grief
- Anger
- Phobias
- Fear
- Stress
- Resistance to change
- Chronic pain
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Aftermath of toxic relationships
Telehealth:
Telehealth has now become the norm in the delivery of mental health services and it works surprisingly well in most cases. It provides a convenient and flexible way for us to meet during busy and complicated times. My certification as a Distance Counselor assures a safe, secure, quality on-line experience.
