Trainer

Now that you know the basics, are you looking to advance your skills working with individuals or groups?

Or

Would knowing how to handle a recent traumatic episode expand your skills working with individuals or groups?

Or

Did you know that hypnosis training can augment interventions regardless of therapeutic orientation?

I am a broadly trained, licensed psychologist

I share cutting edge information with professionals, and train psychotherapists in the treatment of trauma and building resilience.
 
I am an Approved Consultant with EMDRIA and an Approved Trainer for the recent trauma protocols: R-TEP/G-TEP/RISC.
 
I am also an Approved Consultant certified by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Hypnosis teaches clinicians how to use language most effectively in their clinical work.

As a speaker, I present up to date information on a variety of topics to community groups and professional organizations.

As a supervisor, consultant and trainer, I work with other therapists and graduate students to develop their skills.

As a psychotherapist, I provide psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and couples, building resilience in the face of trauma.

R-TEP/G-TEP

The Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol & The Group Traumatic Episode Protocol

G-TEP uses a worksheet and is designed for group administration.
 It may be used with individuals experiencing the same or different trauma as well as with small family groups of different ages.

“…the psychological treatment of individuals demands a composite of knowledge from various approaches. I align myself fully with those who believe that we strengthen clinical repertoires through integration, not through displacement or exclusion.”
