Psychotherapy With Heart
About Me
From early on in my career, I understood the value of traditional psychotherapy and its usefulness in trauma recovery. Over the years, however, I began to feel that it was only one part of the healing process. I began to explore alternatives, additions, and new ways of thinking about counseling and trauma as a whole, including 12-step recovery programs, research in the intersections between spirituality and psychotherapy, and ultimately, certifications in EMDR and Energy Psychology. Today, I combine all of these these tools and my thirty years of practice to best serve my clients. Ultimately, I find a combination of these services best suits those working with trauma, anxieties, depression and other life concerns, and have also found this work to be my most rewarding. I encourage you to keep exploring your truest self through heart-centered counseling.
