Specializing in: Trauma, Parenting, Bipolar, Anxiety, Depression, Nightmares, Phobias
As a personality, I am a: Learner, Positivity, Strategic, Activator, Input; which means we seek
the data to help you heal.

Welcome, and kudos in seeking answers to the plot twists in your story, your marriage or your
teenager's story. Change is inevitable and with "shifts," you can be healthier. Let's find your
awareness, insight and choice in moving forward. It may be scary to take the first step, but
heading straight into your fear is where the biggest growth starts! Neuroplasticity, can we
appreciate it? You have it. We all have broken pieces too, whether little “t”, Big “T” trauma or
both.No one is perfect; let's explore your next step. No matter where you are in CA, I’m available
through tele-health, make the call. Let's get after it!

Want accountability? Great, my direct, communicative style and data driven approach allows us
both to know that you are progressing. Course correction is part of finding the right path on your
journey so if something isn’t working for you, let’s find another way. EMDR is researched-based
and effective for all sorts of issues and trauma, so give it a go!

Self awareness (mind, body, soul) is step one. Processing the past narratives and unhealthy
perceptions is step two. Making healthier choices and defining who you WANT to be now IS
the journey into your future. Research shows the most growth happens when you step toward
your fear. Basically, you figure out that IT wasn’t so catastrophic after all.
