Because I have over 25 years experience and have studied so many types of therapy, we can choose from a range of techniques to find the ones that will work best for you.

Throughout counseling, your relationship with yourself—
how you criticize, encourage, comfort, care for or ignore yourself—
is as important as the work you do on specific issues. I can teach you how to talk to yourself and others with kindness, humor and respect.
<><><><><>
I offer a safe place to feel your feelings and sort through the vital information feelings have to offer about what is most important to you.
<><><><><>
We may stay focused on your present-day feelings and problem-solve your current crisis together.
<><><><><>
We may explore your family background and past traumas to find patterns of behavior and unresolved issues that are still affecting your life now.
<><><><><>
My methods are tailored to your individual needs and include both cognitive and feeling-oriented approaches.
I may suggest:
journal-writing |
visualization |
role-playing |
art therapy |
Gestalt |
inner child work |
nature-based activities |
homework tasks |
puppet play |
cognitive-reframing |
body awareness |
emotional release |
books to read |
EMDR |
self-talk changes |
or simply talking it over to help you make the changes you seek.
<><><><><>
I am qualified to use the techniques of EMDR for resolving phobias and traumas.
I can teach communication, assertiveness, stress reduction, relationship and conflict-resolution skills.
Your goals and preferences determine the methods we use.
