About

I have specialized in treating trauma disorders for over 30 years. The technique I use is effective, short-term, and relatively painless. Clients don't have to relive it to release it. I work online with individuals to remove old emotional pain that could be affecting their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. I am licensed in CA, OR, ID and UT, and registered in FL. I also train therapists in the diagnosis and treatment of Dissociative Disorders (including PTSD), and am a CEU provider through the CA Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, provider #022086. Most therapists are aware most of their clients have a trauma history that is still affecting them in a negative way. What they don't know is most of them have a Dissociative Disorder that has not been diagnosed or treated. Bessel van der Kolk expressed it well by saying, "If therapists do not recognized the dissociative nature of their traumatized clients, it will be hard to help them." Therapists are not trained in the diagnosis and treatment of dissociative disorders, so they don't recognize it in their clients, and find it hard to help them. I provide the training that fills that gap in their training so they can be more effective in helping their client actually BE better, not just feel a little better.
