I am a family therapist specializing in trauma and anxiety reduction therapy. My clients experience relief in 3-6 sessions because of my longer 2 hour sessions designed to quickly reduce symptoms and increase clear focused thoughts and calm relaxed body and a more carefree spirit. I provide effective short-term therapy for trauma, anxiety, communication and conflict resolution in relationships. I utilize powerful techniques, tools, solution focused strategies and approaches that work on the science of the emotional brain, creating lasting permanent change in thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behavior.
My mission is to clear barriers, increase resources, and empower others to live their passion and mission in life. I do this by providing anxiety therapy and trauma therapy to a client base of adults, children, teens, couples, and families. I facilitate movement from trauma, anxiety and emotional or physical discomfort, to enhanced, vibrant connection with self and others. Positive Transformation incorporates the latest scientific research on the brain to implement change through powerful techniques such as Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. Bring families together by enhancing communication, eliminating emotional reactivity, and enhancing ability to play and enjoy life.
