Licensed to practice in GA, FL, AL (US) as well as outside the US.
I bring a warm, engaging style to my therapeutic work, combining talk therapy with evidence-based approaches to the resolution of emotional distress. Since 2005 I have helped adults resolve distress, become emotionally regulated, change what no longer works for them and create more authentic and meaningful lives.
Whether you are struggling with the effects of long-term interpersonal trauma, complicated grief, high levels of anxiety or other complexities of the human condition (trauma resolution, emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, identity development, family of origin issues, separation and individuation, major life transitions), I can offer you a therapeutic bridge to where you’d like to be and how you’d like to be living.
Somatic and other treatment approaches include Meditation and Grounding, Somatic processing, EFT Tapping, Progressive Counting, Clinical Hypnosis and Flash – all in the context of a psychodynamic framework.
