Individual Psychotherapy, EMDR & Specialized Services

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen”, Brené Brown.

Individual Psychotherapy

I work with teens and adults of all ages, helping people develop into their full potential as quickly as possible, overcoming problematic symptoms, behaviors, relationship issues and other obstacles interfering with their ability to live healthy, happy, meaningful lives.

We can all benefit from individual therapy, whether to resolve symptoms that are limiting our quality of life, or to help us reach our dreams. If you have the courage and willingness to reach out for help, I would be honored to join you in a healing journey to achieve your goals. My 30 years of experience and advanced training in cutting edge treatment approaches enable me to efficiently identify and resolve core issues allowing for deep, lasting transformation.

The path toward the wonderful life that awaits you is just a phone call or an email away. I provide a safe, compassionate therapeutic relationship in which you can move toward greater health and well-being in all aspects of your life.

EMDR Therapy: (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing):

I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Certified EMDR therapist and Facilitator for EMDR Professional Training. EMDR is a very effective form of psychotherapy which helps people naturally and efficiently resolve symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing experiences and trauma. I have been practicing EMDR therapy since 1995, when I was trained by the founder of EMDR, Dr. Francine Shapiro. EMDR has been referred to as psychotherapy at warp speed, for good reason. It enables us to tap into the natural healing power of the brain to efficiently process through unresolved trauma, rapidly moving into resolution and healing.

Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS):

I have extensive training in DNMS. The Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy is a safe, nurturing approach to identifying and healing the deepest aspects of self that keep us stuck in unwanted behaviors, beliefs and emotions. As healing progresses, a wide range of psychological, behavioral and relational symptoms and issues diminish naturally. Please refer to DNMSInstitute.org for more information.

Brainspotting:

My training in Brainspotting allows me to use this treatment approach to tap into the body’s innate ability to heal, in order to resolve trauma, negative beliefs and emotional distress.

Available in-person and via telehealth for therapy and consultation:

My professional services are available in-person in my Newport Beach office and remotely via a secure HIPAA compliant Zoom format or Facetime. I can effectively provide teletherapy for anyone within the state of California, including individual and couples therapy, and EMDR therapy. You are welcome to join me for individual and/or group EMDR consultation remotely wherever you are in the world.
