Services
In my mission to help my clients achieve their goals and create happier, more fulfilled lives, I provide the following services and areas of expertise. PSYCHOTHERAPY: For individuals, families and couples I offer a comfortable and supportive environment to help people create positive outcomes to the problems and difficulties in their lives. This includes, but is not limited to, issues of anxiety, depression, obsessions/compulsions, limiting and happiness blocking beliefs, issues from childhood, phobias, job difficulties, marital and family dysfunction and other life diminishing problems. To this end I use a variety of techniques and approaches tailored to meet the needs of the individual client. ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY: A powerful and effective new approach to therapy that enables clients to create positive, lasting change in their lives in a dramatic new way. These cutting edge techniques help clients to heal and/or reach their goals much more quickly, and with much less pain or trauma. The use of these techniques has transformed both my practice and my personal life in wonderful and inspiring ways.

GUIDED IMAGERY AND CLINICAL HYPNOSIS: The process of using imagery to achieve our goals and improve mind/body interaction has been used in all cultures across time. All action is first conceived as thought and guided imagery is a process of consciously choosing what those thoughts will be and how to use them in our best and highest good. From it's most simple form, such as affirmations, to it's deeper and most specific applications such as clinical hypnosis, imagery allows us to create in our imaginations what we will create in our lives. These highly effective and well documented and studied techniques are of particular benefit in the therapeutic process. Imagery is a powerful tool to achieving goals, improving functioning, reducing stress and anxiety and replacing negative, self-defeating beliefs. For most of my clients I create a guided imagery CD, for them to use at home, which is specific to their needs and goals. I often run into people who tell me they still use their CDs even years later. Medical hypnosis takes imagery to a much deeper level and is used to create physical well-being, improve surgical outcomes, enhance the benefits of medication and chemotherapy and allows the mind to direct health in the body. It has been used extensively in reducing medical symptoms, especially in the area of autoimmune disease, stress related illness and even childbirth. Many of my clients come in specifically for surgical hypnosis where they are instructed in the process and receive a CD specific to their needs to be used both prior to, during and after surgery. They feel much more relaxed, more empowered and confident, able to reduce negative side effects and statistically improve their own healing and outcomes. TRAINING AND SUPERVISION: In my practice I see many other therapists, both for training and in treatment. In fact, many of the professionals who come to me for training, after seeing how effective and life changing energy psychology techniques can be, want to come in for therapy with me so we can use the process together. Supervision and individual training is available on a flexible schedule, during my normal office hours. Trainings for groups, including clinics, hospitals, and other professional venues is available on an individually scheduled basis. These trainings are highly experiential and participants will develop specific skills and techniques that they can begin to use immediately both with their clients and in their own lives as well. Community and Public Educational Programs are also available to the general public for any groups seeking education in the mental health areas. Although these presentations are more general and less clinical, participants will also be given the opportunity for personal interaction as well as learning techniques they can use immediately in their own lives.
Office hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday by appointment. Telephone sessions available by appointment with varying hours.
