specializing in depression, childhood abuse and trauma, performance anxiety (musicians,
athletes, public speakers, creativity blockage), relationship problems and personal growth.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a form of therapy
which has been proven to be highly effective in working with trauma. This includes both obvious,
large trauma ("big T - rape, car wreck, etc) and the "small t" trauma of unresolved childhood
hurts or the daily fears and discomforts arising from being GLBT in a straight society. Successful
use of EMDR allows the person's natural healing process to become active, creating a relatively
fast resolution of the problem. I am comfortable working with GLBT people and people with HIV/AIDS.
