Life as a neurodivergent and/or disabled person can be beautiful, wonderful, and filled with so much joy! It can also be exhausting, challenging, and involve a lot of misunderstanding from those around you. Many of us experience traumas, anxiety, depression, Autistic burnout, emotion regulation difficulties, relational difficulties, and struggles with work, school, and parenting demands. If you're looking for support in managing any of these areas, and you want to work with someone who knows how to set you up for sustainable change, you're in the right place.

An artist who never experienced being loved by a woman may look for a different therapy than someone who, after the collapse of the Twin Towers, has experienced crises of panic and is unable to travel the subway. Somebody may want to stop using drugs and alcohol, but may also be interested in finding a spiritual path. Most frequently, people do not know what they want from therapy. Finding out is part of it. Some go to therapy to solve a problem, and some to grow and look for the meaning of life, while others have both reasons.

Typical sighs of this : Problems with romantic intimate relationships and friendships (dependency ,or isolation), trust issues. Self-abuse and low self esteem provoke inability to appreciate one's worthiness. The talents will continue to be undermined. Distorted body image. Psychosomatic problems, overweight, inability to fulfill the needs. Lacking confidence, fear of being hurt interrupt motivation to find a stable and loving relationships People tend to unwittingly replicate the abusive early experience

One of my core values is to offer my complete presence to the other person. I believe presence is key to fostering a safe and secure environment so that mutual trust can unfold and transformative work can be done. Since 2010, I have focused my work on children and parents struggling with family life challenges including traumatic events such as divorce, loss, prenatal/birth trauma, medical procedures, adoption and attachment disruption. I am also trained in Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART), a modality that specifically helps children resolve trauma using play, movement, and sensory motor stimulation.

My ideal client is a professional woman of color who has attained considerable success in her career but grapples with feelings of unfulfillment and stagnation in other aspects of her life. Despite her achievements, she struggles to define her self-worth and identity beyond her career, often feeling disconnected from her true self and personal desires. Her family relationships suffer from strain, possibly exacerbated by demanding work schedules or emotional detachment. Balancing cultural expectations with her own aspirations presents a continual challenge. The weight of her professional responsibilities frequently leads to neglect.

I take a simple approach to therapy. My mission is to provide a safe and non judgmental space where we can explore and learn about those issues that may be keeping you from living your best life. I enjoy using a Gestalt model of interaction that says that however we show up in the present moment contains valuable information about the way we do our lives so we don't need to dwell on our past or harp on the way we think. This journey is all about the heart and the way we feel our way through life.

I have been working with clients for over 30 years combining my NLP/Hypnosis/Dance Movement Therapy and traditional Clinical Psychology training. My orientation is short term solution focussed. When a client comes for a session we identify their goals and determine what technique(s) would be most helpful. My clients will often say that they have received lifelong tools and have new perspectives and breakthroughs with themselves and their relationships.

How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualization or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
