My areas of expertise:
|
|
My
specialties come from years of helping people to feel better and
to cope with a wide range of problems. Please email me if you have any questions about how I can help you. I have
provided an overview below of some of my specialties.
- Highly Sensitive Persons:
- HSPs are easily over-stimulated due to an especially sensitive nervous system. HSPs may suffer from depression, shyness, or anxiety. I support HSPs in discovering the advantages of our sensitivity, as well as teaching strategies for coping with over-stimulation. I work with HSPs individually and in groups, and offer groups for HSP children. back to the top

-
Chronic Pain, Illness and Disability:
-
I
offer individual and group counseling, psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy for people who suffer from chronic
pain, illness, and hidden disabilities. I work with people
suffering from invisible, but often debilitating conditions such
as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, Sjogren's Syndrome, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, and irritable bowel
syndrome. As someone who has been on her own healing journey, I
can help you cope and ease your isolation with empathy for your
experience. back

Grief/Loss
and Life Transitions:
-
I
can help you heal from the death of a loved one or the loss of a
relationship with compassion and empathic listening. And I can
help you mourn and move through the stages of grief. When you're
going through such major life changes as bereavement, divorce,
and aging, I can be a supportive guide. I can also teach you
better self-care skills to ease your passage through these
difficult times. back to the top

Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues:
-
I
help gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients cope with issues such as
"coming out," bi/trans/homophobia, family, relationships, transitions, sexual identity and gender. My personal experience of bisexuality informs my therapeutic alliance with my bisexual clients. back to the top
- Love and Intimacy:
