About
Working with adults and teens, my experience is largely with mood and anxiety disorders, particularly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This includes work with people at all stages of recovery from substance abuse and with survivors of sexual abuse. In addition, I partner with physicians in helping people live well with chronic pain or chronic medical conditions. I also have expertise in family work - helping people to negotiate the challenges of divorce and remarriage, and enhancing the lives of intercultural and interracial families. My approach is grounded in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and attachment theories. View 4 Photos I have practiced Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing since 1998. EMDR has been indispensable in trauma recovery and in transforming any stubborn mind habits that limit our capacity for joy or our ability to deal effectively with outer obstacles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps shift the focus from pain avoidance to values-driven action.
