Genuine Connection Counseling, EMDR Therapy, Coaching

I specialize in helping men and women remove internal obstacles that hold them back from feeling good and achieving what they want in their relationships and career. These internal obstacles: getting past emotionally upsetting experiences, eliminating automatic negative thoughts, reducing anxiety, shame, grief, depression, and fears.

I specialize in a proven, research based form of psychotherapy, called EMDR Therapy, that works much faster than traditional talk therapy and is based on the science of how the brain stores and processes information.

What's It Like To Work With Me?
Many people comment on how easy it is to talk with me and how my style and approach to therapy is different than their prior counseling experiences. I view my clients as mentally healthy individuals having understandable reactions to upsetting, disappointing or difficult aspects of life. As a former marketing management professional with many years experience in the corporate world prior to changing careers to become a psychotherapist, I take an active, conversational, results-oriented approach to working with clients. My approach draws upon my business skills as a problem solver and change agent along with my experience, skills and knowledge of psychotherapy, coaching and counseling.

My style as a counselor is to communicate with you in my natural conversational style and to be my genuine self. I believe the more open and genuine I am in our conversations, the easier it is for you to feel comfortable and open with me. I have a positive attitude and upbeat energy and I love the work I do. I am grateful for the privilege of hearing clients stories and helping them heal, grow and feel better about themselves and their future.

Much of our distress in life is due to a lack of genuine connection with ourselves and with others. When you increase your understanding and acceptance of yourself and how you relate to others, you are better able to achieve a sense of well-being and move through difficulties. Various life experiences from childhood through the present, can compromise your ability to be yourself or lead you to repeat behaviors that no longer serve you well in your personal life or at work. Often people think that these early experiences are no big deal or are no longer influencing them, however they are surprised at how much better they feel after we do some brief, focused work on these experiences


Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy(EMDR) - EMDR is a proven, safe, whole brain approach to therapy that facilitates the brain's natural process for reprocessing and resolving memories of upsetting events that affect our behaviors and how we feel about ourselves. EMDR works much faster than traditional talk therapy or coaching, because it is based on the science of how the brain stores and processes memories of upsetting experiences. The speed of your mind is faster than the speed of your mouth! EMDR provides lasting relief because it treats the root cause of your anxiety, depression, shame, negative self-talk, or self-confidence issues. To learn more, visit the EMDR section on my website.

What is a Certified EMDR Therapist?
I have earned the designation of Certified EMDR therapist which is only granted to EMDR therapists who have documented additional training, case consultation and client experience beyond the basic training required to offer EMDR. EMDR is much more than a technique and to get the best results requires a therapist who uses EMDR effectively on a regular basis with a range of clients and client issues.

Career Counseling and Job Search Coaching - I have worked as a Career Counselor and Job Search Career Coach at leading MBA schools in the country and at a global outplacement firm serving employees of Fortune 500 firms. I have also developed and taught career management and job search skills workshops. I can help you with: resume writing, interview preparation, cover letter writing, job search skills, networking, salary negotiation, career direction, loss of self-confidence, anxiety or depression related to job loss or mid-life career transition. I can also help you with the emotions and strategic business planning associated with making the transition from employee to self-employed.
