PSYCHOTHERAPY

ChangeWork Strategies is the transformative approach I’ve developed for working directly with the patterns and strategies that organize your life; particularly the ones that interfere with your ability to function as you would like.  Together we’ll identify what gets in the way, while also developing your inner resources so you can heal, change and get on with the business of living your life.  Individual, couple and family sessions are available.  Click on the links if you’d like to learn more about ChangeWork Strategies or about my areas of specialization.

HYPNOTHERAPY

I have advanced training in Ericksoninan Hypnotherapy, a method that uses naturalistic inductions to create states of deep relaxation for reducing stress, solving problems, utilizing resources and tapping into creative potential.

COACHING

Coaching is a non-therapeutic method that provides support, accountability and positive feedback for setting and achieving goals, for improving effectiveness and communication skills and for building solid strategies for success.  As a psychotherapist and entrepreneur, I incorporate the ChangeWork Strategies model along with specific skills and resources that will help  you to move forward and get results.  Individual coaching session can be arranged face-to-face or over skype.
