Personal Comments:
I work with individuals and couples that are struggling with a variety of issues. I have been specially trained to work with trauma issues, but I also work with depression, anxiety and couple issues.
I also help couples create the kind of relationship that will make them happy. This does not always mean that the relationship has a happy ending. Sometimes the happiest ending is just an ending. I work with people who were raised in families where alcohol, drugs, violence or abuse were part of the experience of growing up. I help these people to do the healing that they need to lead a happy life. I work with people who are victims of domestic violence, crime, or trauma.
As part of my learning to best help the people I work with. I have been certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This is a very powerful and well-researched therapy that can help people quickly and deeply work through their issues and begin to achieve peace in their lives.

General Comments:
Here is December's Column: Happy Holidays
I have become increasingly aware of how quickly time passes. Every year just seems to fly by faster and faster. One of my children is now definitely taller than me. The other one is not that far behind. My older relatives are getting old. It is harder to get up off the floor than it used to be. Time is passing.
I love this time if the year but I know that seasons pass quickly. Before you know it, we will be dealing with everything that comes after the New Year. I want to notice that we had a holiday season, not just be relieved when it is over.
I am making a pledge to myself that every day, I will stop and notice decorations, songs, presents, people enjoying the season. I will notice the things that make me smile. This is not an attempt to slow down the season, but to live in the moment. To not wish things would hurry up and get here, or to hurry up and get over!
When I slow down and live in the moment, my body gets healthier. My muscles relax. I smile more. My relationships improve because I am not so stressed. I am a better wife and mother because I slow down and truly am with my family.
So, if you see me sitting some place, simply watching and smiling, feel free to join me and just be. Happy holidays.
