Helping People Heal from the Past to Have Peace Today
Teaching People How to Relax in Today's Stressful World
In my psychology practice, my passion involves helping people of all ages heal from the past in order to have peace today as well as teaching people to relax in today's stressful world. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat past trauma and improve a variety of psychological distress. Addition, I enjoy helping people get off psychiatric medications through overall symptom reduction. Maintaining a balanced life is important. So, I find great reward in teaching people the practice of mindfulness, relaxation breathing, progressive relaxation, meditation, and visualization which fosters a balanced life. My supportive approach to psychological treatment helps people feel safe and secure when working through difficult issues. Thank you for taking time to explore my practice and I look forwarding to working with you in the future.
