I have found that no single therapy works for everyone during my 20 years of treating trauma, depression, anxiety, phobias as well as doing marital therapy. While trained in traditional therapy, I have integrated mind-body therapies where appropriate since research indicates symptoms are stored in the body as well as in the mind. EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Tappas Accupressure Technique, Advanced Integrative Therapy, Thought Field Therapy, the Emotional Freedom Technique, and Healing from the Body Level Up are a few modalities I use along with cognitive restructuring and psycho-education. I work with each client to determine goals and treatment plans.
In marital therapy, I utilize several therapies depending on the needs of the couple. The research based therapy of John Gottman, Ph.D. focuses on conflict and communication styles, managing one's physiology within the relationship, and psycho-education.
The more psychodynamically oriented Imago therapy of Getting the Love You Want by Harville Hendrix, M.A. teaches skills to enable couples to raise to conscious levels the dynamics which are influencing their marriage to provide healing for childhood wounds
