A focus on well-being

I work with individuals, children, and families, blending both traditional and contemporary theories to help my clients identify the root of their feelings and be able to proactively move forward in their lives.  

My specialties include work with individuals with PTSD, combat veterans, victims of domestic violence or abuse, and people with anxiety or depression.

My goal is to empower clients with knowledge and resources which will help them live more full, rich lives.  I start with a foundation of good psychoeducation to understand what's happening and why it developed.  Using techniques like progressive muscle relaxation, I teach people effective ways to gain control of the anxiety.  Then, I employ EMDR to clear out the issue altogether.

I am an experienced educator and trainer, having taught masters-level courses, educational seminars and treatment groups to a wide variety of populations. This includes:

• Treatment groups on Anxiety and Stress Management for children 
• Educational seminars on Stress Management in hospitals
