Warmth, supportiveness and professional integrity are three principal values which have guided over 30 years experience in mental health. I have had a longstanding focus on trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dissociation, addictions to substances (alcohol, drugs and prescription medications) and to self-destructive behavior (anger, the internet, gambling).
My emphasis is on providing accurate diagnoses of current psychological problems and addressing those problems with techniques that are research and/or evidence-based. Clients consistently report rapid relief in fewer than 10 sessions; however, many clients pursue further therapy, making dramatically positive and often unexpected changes in their lives.

If addiction is present we will assess for severity and make clear recommendations regarding a course of action.
People who survive trauma and experience posttraumatic stress symptoms often develop alcohol or substance abuse problems. In some instances the addictive tendencies were present prior to the traumatic episode. Often there is a vulnerability to drug use or abuse passed down from a previous generation (e.g., a parent or other first-degree relative who had an addiction).

I have a passion for spreading the word regarding how working through a traumatic history reawakens inherent reslience and seemingly boundless life energy and passion for self and others. Please let me know if I can help as a keynote speaker or workshop leader. I am comfortable with groups as small as 10 and as large as 1000, in peaceful civilian contexts as well as post-disaster or near areas of international conflict.
