THERAPY

Where we can focus together:

My work covers a wide range of issues, intentions and situations, including:

  • Trauma: PTSD & C-PTSD
  • Affect Regulation*
  • Gifted, Creative & Quirky Adults
  • Executive Functions (including related to ADHD)
  • Anxiety & depression 
  • Grief, loss & adjustment
  • Relationships
  • Stress management
  • Chronic functional disorders

and more . . .

An example of my work:

AFFECT REGULATION THERAPY

Affect regulation therapy (ART) is based on the latest knowledge from the neurosciences.  It improves emotion regulation skills & executive functions by giving you more control over responses to, for example, stress/tension, fear, depressed mood, guilt & anger.

With YOUR nervous and endocrine systems in mind, together we work toward permanent change in how your entire mind/body system responds – giving you CHOICE. That means working with what is conscious, & also what has been out of your awareness.

The work is tailored to your individual preferences & needs.  And to your specific nervous system.

MY COMMITMENT

A life dedicated to learning.

Over the 40 years I’ve been working & studying, my approach has grown in line with new information.  I’ve added new ideas to my solid foundation in the basics – how our brains work, how early & later trauma impacts our minds & bodies, the importance of culture, beliefs & relationships, human diversity, & the many different developmental ages/stages of life. I love the complexity!

Something I learned along the way is that positive growth is possible for everyone, anytime. Here are some of the ways I work:

1:1 sessions (in person and online)

Group work

Workshops

Professional supervision

International speaker

University lecturer

Private professional training and mentoring
