Orientation &
Approach
| We
all get stuck sometimes. Sometimes the problems seem small,
sometimes overwhelming; sometimes we don't know what the problem is.
In a safe environment with professional help we can find greater
ease with ourselves, improve our relationships, and accept the
challenges of life. I will work with your strengths to help you meet
your goals. My approach is based on Somatic Experiencing,
Developmental, Jungian, and Transpersonal psychological theory.
I am skilled in Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, Dialectical
Behavior Therapy (DBT), Active Imagination and exploration of
dreams, and Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR), and mind/body
awareness using breath, movement and visualization. |
