TRAUMA RECOVERY

Trauma is commonplace on this planet and we all carry it in our lives. It can disrupt our thoughts or manifest in physical and emotional reactions. Often, we don't realize how disruptive this energy can be in our lives; we may be so used to operating with it that it’s hard to see the possibility of life without it. There are, however, a number of therapies available to recognize, understand, and rise above trauma.

I specialize in healing traumA, INCLUDING:

  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Panic Attacks and Phobias

  • Shock Trauma from accidents, assaults, medical procedures

  • Developmental Trauma from a traumatizing childhood/adolescence

Using my extensive training & years of experience in:

  • Somatic Experiencing

  • EMDR

  • NARM

  • NeuroAffective Life Force Model

  • Grief Support – Warden Model

  • Art Therapy

Using a variety of healing modalities, I work with clients to first identify the sources and symptoms of their trauma, then take back their physical and emotional wellbeing. Healing takes time, but the movement toward healing can be surprisingly swift.

GRIEF SUPPORT

HELPING GRIEVING HEARTS HEAL

Our relationships to our loved ones continue on in our lives even after death or other circumstances take away their physical presence. Every person grieves in different ways and for different reasons, whether they are experiencing the death of a family member, a romantic breakup, or the end of a pregnancy. Grieving can be a product of recent events, or it can stem from a loss from years or even decades prior.

My goal, when working with a client experiencing grief, is to honor those connections that made the relationship so important. When we mourn the loss of someone close to us, we are experiencing the difficult yet natural healing process of grief. Even as the world around us becomes more comfortable with normalizing the grief process, it can be a challenge to allow your own grief to take up space.

I trained as a grief support specialist at Our House, a West Los Angeles program that provides counseling to grieving children, teens, and adults. I am also a volunteer grief specialist at Camp Erin, a grief support camp for children, which is sponsored by Our House.

HEALING DEPRESSION

GET YOUR LIFE MOVING

You can get your life flowing again. A multitude of studies report that depression is commonly effectively helped through psychotherapy. Don't suffer unnecessarily.

Depression results from blocked energy and can take you away from the people and things in your life that are most important. I have had much success in helping people locate various energy blocks and in empowering them to be more upbeat and productive. I work closely with my clients to clarify what it is they really value and want, which is paramount to helping them refocus their energies and move in a direction that brings them more fulfillment.

There is no instant cure for depression, but you can see results soon. Contact me to discuss how we can get started on a treatment that will get you out from under depression's grasp sooner than you can imagine.

ART THERAPY

ometimes, talk therapy just doesn't cut it.  There are times when a client comes to my office anxious and distracted but unclear about the underlying issue or conflict. In art therapy, working with the client as they draw, can have a clarifying effect. Often as the session progresses, a very different perspective of the issue emerges, which can lead to new approaches to a solution.

No artistic background or ability is needed.

EMDR

EMDR is a form of therapy developed to help patients heal from traumatic experiences. It has been used successfully to help soldiers traumatized by war, victims of terrorism and those who have experienced other difficult events, including childhood abuse, trauma and neglect. I have been trained in EMDR and find it very healing in conjunction with other therapies.
