Working with me you will get a trustworthy, confidential, compassionate, experienced, unbiased, educated, and science-minded Doctor of Psychology and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) trained in Neuropsychotherapy and Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) who uses a direct, but considerate approach. I'm also certified in Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) and Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM). Both are forms of rapid memory reconsolidation that painlessly erase the emotion attached to a memory, allowing clients to quickly process trauma and stress without emotionally reliving the event(s). I also offer supervision for clinicians through a systems, Neuropsychotherapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology lens.
I specialize in all relationships (couples, dating, parenting, and divorce, including prevention, recovery, & preparation, and blending healthy families), trauma, stress, anxiety including PTSD recovery, and many other issues. I draw on my personal and professional experiences to help you learn how to draw on yours and to help you find the happiness and success you're seeking in life. I use humor, neuroscience, lightheartedness, calm, and methodically challenging approaches to educate you about your options and help you fine tune your goals, but you always decide how far you're willing to go to improve your life and your relationships.
The brain develops from the bottom-up, so interventions for behavioral, emotional, and cognitive change are not going to be effective if we start with a top-down approach (what's that?).
I don't write prescriptions for medication, perfection, or moon chanting (haha, I just googled that and it's a real thing!). However, I do encourage, respectfully challenge, and teach (if necessary) accountability, listening, acceptance, self-challenge, and even mind and brain development (neuropsychotherapy, interpersonal neurobiology). I may suggest that you golf, spa, hunt, or club with each other as a couple if those are things you would or used to like doing together (please note: the last sentence said "club WITH each other"--NOT "club each other."). I always include parents in child therapy and I advocate for both parents and children. I am unbiased, woman-friendly, man-friendly, and child-friendly so do not worry about me judging you. We are all human and I help all people learn to accept humanness in themselves and others.
To achieve effective change, we must work with the brain, not against it.
I jest throughout this page, but I am very dedicated to effective care! So, on a serious note, the first step to success in therapy comes in understanding that asking for help shows strength, not weakness. I approach all my clients from an interpersonal neurobiological perspective and a neuropsychotherapeutic framework, not a pathological approach. This means I rarely give a "diagnosis" because rarely is it needed or accurate according to what we now know about the neuroscience of emotion, thoughts, and behavior.
