About Me

My passion is helping people who have experienced emotional/physical trauma, neurocognitive deficits or medical injury/issues. I create a safe but challenging environment for people in which they can identify and explore the different parts of themselves. As an IFS therapist, I believe we all have multiple parts of ourselves and a core self that can help guide, and eventually heal our parts. I believe in the incredible power of the mind and the magnificence of the human spirit. I believe we each have the potential to heal and the capability to rebuild. I use psychotherapy, cognitive retraining, hypnotherapy, HRV, EMDR, IFS and Neurofeedback to help people achieve self regulation, internal cohesive connection and an improved quality of life. I have personal knowledge of how to effectively cope with tragedy and manage pain. I sustained a spinal cord injury in 1991 which resulted in quadriplegia. I was paralyzed from the neck down, confined to a wheel chair that I operated by blowing in a straw. Over the years, I have relearned how to dress myself, feed myself, sit, stand and I now walk with a cane. I have learned how to access and utilize the incredible power of the mind to reduce suffering and pain. I have strategies and techniques that can help individuals and their family members cope with the many changes that follow a serious illness or injury.
