My approach
I give
confidential help in an environment of unconditional positive support.
My practice
is a general one, but I see a lot of adults with histories of neglect,
abuse, and trauma. The effects of early childhood trauma result in
depression, low self-esteem, addictions, anxiety, panic attacks, and
Eating Disorders
I use a collaborative approach to empower the individual to move forward
in her or his life. Usually this includes re-examining of old wounds,
examining patterns of behavior, learning healthy ways of coping with
emotions, working through losses and gaining new skills.
A
positive relationship is the vehicle for change and growth. This allows
one to appreciate and honor one's own experiences and the meaning
one attaches to it. A deeper self-understanding is the key to a healthier
life style. As Socrates says, "The unexamined life is not worth
living"
