My passion is to help others heal and grow. My specialty is guiding people through trauma and abuse issues.  I have had wonderful success working with people in the midst of life transitions, including women, blended families, and people with alternative lifestyles. I lead group sessions on several topics including self-esteem, depression and parenting. For over 10 years, I have facilitated a continuing group for adults (both male and female) who were molested as children. I also offer groups in grief therapy (including pet grief), women's issues, and a spiritual growth class. Let's talk.
Although I am a cognitive behavioral therapist, I use many eclectic practices. I have found EMDR lessens the impact of discrete trauma events and is especially helpful in decreasing the number of sessions to lessen the impact of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, while increasing the length of time in healing from major trauma. I will also use Gestalt techniques, dream work, journaling, homework and art exercises to enhance treatment outcome.
My belief is therapy should take place in a warm, comfortable and safe setting which Deep Canyon Counseling provides. We have plenty of parking, a beautiful courtyard for meditating and a pleasant lobby area to center yourself before beginning your therapy appointment. The visual tranquility of the landscaping and the sweet sights and sounds of the birds, allows one to imagine being far away from the noise and activity of the urban center of the Coachella Valley. All of us have created our individual offices to reflect this healing ambiance.
I offer a free phone consultation, so feel free to give me a call or send me an email.

Namaste!
