Therapist

I hope to help you transform those painful, self-limiting beliefs and old patterns into realistic and affirming ones. The process I most often use incorporates bilateral stimulation of the brain. This is a simple technique that often has profound results. It has been shown to move clients very quickly towards the core healing, which is central to lasting results. One of the key benefits of this therapy is the ability to approach new situations /people with creativity, clarity, and new problem-solving techniques. This often occurs spontaneously as part of the process.

Therapist

I am a "pattern based" clinician who specializes in helping my clients identify negative patterns in their life. Once negative patterns have been identified, we will work together to replace negative patterns with healthier skills. I am also a core driven clinician who specializes in identifying the root of a problem. I believe once the root of the problem is discovered, we can process it and find positive strategies to heal through the painful core issue.
