Individual Therapy
If you're having problems at work, love life problems, feel like you have lost your direction, can't shake childhood feelings and memories, and just don't know what to do with yourself, come and talk and let's see what we can do together to help your life get back on track.
Family Therapy
Families who have adopted children from foreign countries and had to wait months to pick up their children, or families that adopted older children in the United States, may feel the need as the child grows for interventions for the child and the family. If your family has adopted such a child and the family or the child is having difficulties with the child's integration into schools or social groups, I can help. If the family is having difficulties with the child, I can help with this also. Together we can work to alleviate these problems.
Attachment Therapy for Late Adoption Children
Sometimes late adoption children have problems making strong, healthy attachments to one parent or another, to siblings or to other children outside the family. Therapy is often needed to help these children relearn the process of attaching and trusting others. I can provide these children with an atmosphere to begin to learn these early childhood tasks.
Couples Therapy
There are times in every couple's relationship that things go awry and neither partner knows how to get it back on track. Sometimes it takes an outside person with a fresh look to help understand what the difficulties might be. If these are your problems, I can help you with that new look.
Trauma Therapy
If you have experienced trauma and emotional abuse in their childhood or in adult relationships, we can venture into these hardships and take a journey together to heal the trauma and lighten the burden.
PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress is suffered by many people who have childhood abuse, major bullying, neglect, losses, violence, or familial addiction. If you have experienced any of these problems, together we can examine the issue and help you come to terms with your history. We can also deal with single incident trauma such as automobile accidents, rape, or natural disasters. Together we will establish mechanisms to deal with the deep feelings in order to regain your sense of power.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an evidence-based therapy designed to deal with PTSD or with disturbing childhood or adult memories. People who have experienced abuse, no matter how mild, have a tendency to feel that their lives are out of their control. This reprocessing technique gives one that control back and helps to create a healthy outlook so that life can settle into a reasonable place.
EFT
Emotional Freedom Therapy is also an evidence-based therapy that uses the meridian points in the body to transform negative emotions. It is a fast technique for changing the reaction to occurrences of trauma or upset in one's life. This also works to help people get a balance back into their lives and live free of negative emotional reactions to old emotional phenomena.
