Introduction

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 35 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. I specialize in trauma-informed brain and body focused psychological treatment, as well as life coaching. In addition to traditional talk psychotherapy and coaching, I use Brainspotting* as a particular method to help clients heal from trauma, improve performance, and expand health and creativity. I use the Core Gift Discovery process to help clients develop a sense of purpose and well-being and to help guide their decision-making. I treat clients dealing with issues of • personal growth and development • grief and loss • trauma and childhood family dysfunction • dissociative phenomena, parts, and insiders • death and dying • destructive cycles in relationships • self-criticism and negative core self-beliefs • depression and anxiety • identity and meaning • psycho-spiritual struggles • enhancing performance *How can Brainspotting help you? “Where you look affects how you feel.” (David Grand, Ph.D., Brainspotting Founder and Developer).
