Biography:
Over the last 40 years I have been in the business of helping people deal with those issues in their lives that have limited them in one way or another. I have worked with people of all ages in all kinds of mental health and drug/alcohol facilities, including various psychiatric hospitals, Drug/Alcohol facilities, M.I.C.A. (Mentally Ill Chemically Addicted) Rehabs and Outpatient programs as well as long-term residential programs.
After graduating from Columbia University, I completed a number of post-graduate programs to assist me in helping others (as well as myself) resolve their issues. I have been trained and/or certified in some of the most progressive and effective therapies out there today, some of them being so cutting-edge and new that most people don’t know about them yet (see below). Brainspotting is one of the most profound of these new incredibly effective and relatively easy and quick therapies that help people release anxiety, stress, worry, fear, panic, sadness, depression, guilt/shame, and excess anger (or any other unwanted negative feelings).
I know that these methods work because I’ve used them on myself. In my early adulthood I was very angry and suffered from high anxiety and bouts of depression. I was in talk therapy for a total of 10 years at that time with three different therapists. I walked out of those 10 years of talk therapy with as much rage and anxiety as I had when I walked in. Why? Because you don’t let go of your rage and intense anxiety in traditional talk therapy. You learn how to “manage” it and relieve the symptoms perhaps, with drugs, saying positive things to yourself, etc., but you don’t truly release the “roots” of that trauma in talk therapy. All of these conditions are caused by trauma that gets “frozen” in our neurobiology. All of the methods I utilize (especially Brainspotting) “unfreeze” and let go of the trauma that causes our negative thoughts and feelings, thus allowing your true self to emerge once more.
