In the 40+ years as a traumatologist, I have trained in multiple neurobiologically-oriented modalities to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, attachment and relationship issues, grief, anxiety, depression, parenting, cross-cultural and epigenetic issues, and addictive patterns. Somatic Experiencing® allows for a deep exploration of the self, tapping into and tracking the conversation between the mind and the body and is my favorite staple in my toolbox. Healing requires a witness in the process of mastering one's own self-regulation. I know which tools to use to listen in and can be your guide.
I am fluent in English, Spanish, and German and understand the significant influence one’s culture has on personal experiences and relationships. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working with individuals, couples, and families, in addition to Somatic Experiencing® I am trained in other neuroscience-based modalities to treat trauma. We start with what is right with you. When we suffer, we narrow the totality of our experience to what is not right. Part of the healing process is to find safety in the present moment to dive into both what is and what is not working. "You can only heal what you feel" I am dedicated to removing the blind spots we humans naturally put in place that prevent us from clearly seeing our vulnerabilities, resilience, internal experiences, and basic goodness. The satisfaction I get from my work is informed by my personal discovery that there is always a choice. "You can only change what you are conscious of" After four decades in private practice, I consider myself a partner in your journey to healing. |
