About
I am interested in treating people whose potential is hindered by negative concepts of themselves imprinted in childhood (through traumatic experiences or neglect of basic emotional needs) and who frequently suffer from symptoms like chronic depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am committed to helping these individuals attain a sense of self that brings them happiness and fulfillment. My basic perspective is that the human mind possesses the capacity to heal itself, if guided in the right way. I have explored various methods and approaches to helping the mind restore its basic wholeness. I use individual psychotherapy, EMDR,* mindfulness meditation, and somatic therapy in the self-healing mind approach. I am a Certified EMDR practitioner and Approved Consultant and I have found EMDR effective for development trauma, post-traumatic stress and other conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and stress and panic attacks. As an anthropologist (Ph.D. from UCLA), I have a cultural and evolutionary perspective on the human condition. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the individual as part of a family system which is internalized by the individual, greatly affecting how she/he relates to the world.
