I am accepting new clients though currently only in teletherapy. My general approach is called rational eclecticism; using the most effective therapeutic approach to address each individual's unique issues. I’m increasingly focusing on trauma and toxic stress and the ways it often shows up as depression, anxiety, sadness and at times a loss of identity. Some clients beginning counseling remember feeling joy, excitement, or self-confidence that they rarely if ever feel when they first begin therapy. The people I’ve been working with have been finding this approach to somatic therapy very helpful and frequently, transformative.
This method is affective with very little time spent reviewing the traumatic events or history, which often deepens trauma rather than relieving it. Instead, we will develop skills and awareness to build resiliency that allows your nervous system to return to a relaxed state rather than a trauma-ready state. Doing this makes "room" for the good feelings!
I've adopted this approach after many years of experience and training with some of the most notable leaders in the fields of trauma and psychotherapy. I find this to be the kindest, most respectful and most effective therapeutic path. Our work will always begin with an understanding of what you want to change and we'll work at a pace that works for you.
