“Amazing.  Fast. Effective and worth every penny.  That would be enough. But, peeling the onion led me back to the original events that caused the trauma in the first place.  Instead of getting stuck there, it seems my brain has a new subroutine, called ERASE.  I can pretty much invoke it at will now, almost like a meditation.”
-Brainspotting Client

If you are here on my website, it’s because you are hurting. Something is causing you to be stuck and is preventing you from thriving and enjoying your life! Professional help can break the log jam. It can free you from the repetitive, detrimental patterns in your life and enable you to find positive and helpful approaches to old problems.

I have over 25 years of helping and empowering families, couples and individuals. As a result of our work together:

• You can feel empowered to see what is good and change the things that are not working for you.
• Through Brainspotting, we will decrease or even eliminate the trauma and PTSD symptoms that limit your enjoyment of life.
• You will learn to communicate your needs and feel heard by your partner.
• You will feel safe enough in your relationships, that you will be able to open up with your loved one.
• Parents will learn to transition from fear-based parenting to respect-based parenting.

I don’t see people as sick, I see them as stuck. Getting unstuck will open new possibilities in your life.

Family Therapy

Early in my career, I was profoundly impacted by the families with whom I worked and their resilience in the face of overwhelming pain and stress. One or more of the kids in these families were at risk of out-of-home placement due to neglect or abuse. I derived a deep satisfaction from the fact that after 18 months, 95% of those families were still together.  To this day, I continue to help people connect or reconnect with their resilience and heal through to wholeness.

In addition to working with “traditional” families, I also work with families who have different configurations.

Individual Therapy

My struggle to recover from several car accidents gave me profound insight into the challenges of healing mind and body. I spent years in this healing process and have learned much about healing from trauma.  If you’re suffering from physical, emotional and/or relationship issues, my therapeutic techniques, including Brainspotting – a non-verbal mind/body reprocessing tool, will help you evolve from being stuck or being a victim — to living abundantly. Do not allow yourself to be defined by your trauma, abuse, depression or anxiety.  I can help you heal through to wholeness.

Couple’s Therapy

All relationships experience highs and lows. Being a partner in my 36+ year marriage gives me an intimate understanding of the challenges of working through fear, pain and doubt; wondering if the relationship will make it. Through Emotionally-Focused Couples’ Therapy, I can help you break the same old patterns that haven’t been working and help you renew your relationship.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a non-verbal technique for treating trauma, PTSD, and other issues that keep you stuck. If what you have been doing isn’t working, Brainspotting can help you break through the barriers that are preventing you from having the life and relationships you desire. Brainspotting works by accessing the locations deep in your brain where trauma is stored.
