Clinical Practice Specialization


My clinical practice specialization focuses on using different psychotherapuetic theories along with natural methods of healing. The idea of combining psychotherapy with natural therapies dates back to ancient times. Hippocrates, a physician and philosopher who lived 2400 years ago, was one of the first to claim that emotional health had a physiological and natural basis. He often prescribed natural therapies, using nutrition, herbs, and various lifestyle changes. It is interesting to note that Hippocrates is considered the father of both modern medicine and naturopathic medicine, having coined the phrase "the healing power of nature."

In my clinical practice, I take pride in treating many people, from diverse economic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds for a variety of problems that come with being human. Emotional pain, depression, illness, loss, regret, emptiness, transitions, recovery from family influences, yearning for change, opening to love, forgiveness, self acceptance, activating one's spiritual practice, discovery of the true self, and finding one's unique place in this world are a sampling of the issues I frequently work with.

Because of my extensive training in natural medicine, I have many tools that I bring to therapy that I use on an as needed basis. These include hypnosis, EMDR, NLP, nutrition, and herbology. While working with individuals, couples, families, and groups over the years, I have successfully addressed the following:

Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
~ Hippocrates
This is our great obligation: To enable the human animal to accept nature within himself ... to stop running away from it.
~ Wilhelm Reich
Everything that happens to a person is a direct result of that person's thinking, speaking and actions ... as we think
so we are.
~ Carl Jung
