You deserve to have a therapist who will not only listen to you but will be actively engaged in helping you achieve your goals.
Client comments:
"You taught me what it's like to have someone really be there for me."
" You talk to me like a person, not a patient."
"I really enjoy being able to share and cherish my joys with you and not just focus on the bad stuff."
My Approach:
I specialize in helping people move out of stuck places, heal past traumatic experiences, and change destructive behavior patterns.
Perhaps you can remember times when you decided to make changes in your life only to find out that you quickly fell back into old patterns. The failed diet? Falling back into addictions? The unsuccessful efforts to overcome your fear or anger?
That may be because you are working with the conscious mind whereas these patterns are rooted in the unconscious mind. In effect, one part of your mind may be working against the other. I have been a trained hypnotherapist for over 20 years and a certified EMDR therapist since 2004. I work on the level of the unconscious mind to bring about deep lasting change. You will be amazed at how fast and effective these methods are.
You don't need to spend a long time in therapy to make critical changes in your life. Why put it off any longer? Together we can realize your dreams.
