The treatment I provide is rooted in a story from my past. In 2000, I was unable to overcome the debilitating symptoms I experienced in the aftermath of my mother’s sudden death. I sought therapy through a referral from a trusted colleague. My therapist used an Energy Psychology (EP) modality to assist me. I found the treatment to be powerful and effective in healing my other core traumas in addition to my presenting symptoms. Wanting to provide such profound assistance to my own clients, I received training in the same EP modality. I currently use an EP modality within which I am able to integrate all of my other training.
Energy psychology (EP) is a collection of innovative, energy-based therapies designed to improve your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. These mind-body methods are also known as cognitive somatic practices. Although EP is still considered experimental, many of my clients report lessening of their psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Please see energypsych.org/energy-psychology for more information.
As a pragmatist, I do what I believe to be most helpful, not only for me when I was a client, but for my clients. I find my work is most effective when I use an Energy Psychology framework while incorporating the experience gleaned from 28 years as a licensed psychologist and tailoring my work to each client. Below are the modalities in which I am trained:
