Psychotherapy

Whether it is stress, a relationship crisis, a turning point in life, or a long-standing issue, psychotherapy can shed light on it and help you find resources to manage the challenge within a safe, supportive, confidential environment.
Here are some of the issues commonly brought to therapy:
Self-fulfillment, relationship issues, anxiety and panic attacks, medically unexplained symptoms, depression, grief, career change, eating disorders, self-harming, long-term illness, divorce, mid-life crisis, and parenting issues. 

Dream Work
Dream amplification is a science now informed by the neuroscience of sleep and trauma. I work on the content of dreams from a Jungian perspective.

Dreams help you confidently engage your most profound mind and figure out new directions in life. Nightmares, repetitive dreams, powerful dreams, etc., can be understood within your life context and make sense of your experience. Many people only remember their dreams if the dreams are remarkable. However, it is easy to condition yourself to recall dreams if you wish to do so.
Dreamwork can be scheduled as sporadic sessions to discuss one or a series of dreams.

Stress & Post-Traumatic Stress
Stress can impact your physical health, emotional life, and intimate relationships. It can cause insomnia, overeating, sexual and hormonal disorders, pain, mental fatigue, and many other symptoms. You can learn how to manage stress and keep using those skills consistently.
For trauma, many techniques can relieve the post-traumatic symptoms and restore normalcy after tragic accidents, incidents of domestic violence, history of sexual or physical abuse, assault, tragic losses, abandonment, etc.
EMDR and Calatonia are among those techniques, and they promote an integration of residual trauma that remains locked in the body and mind.

EMDR

EMDR is a fast-paced process that usually requires ninety minutes per session and an average of three to ten sessions to address one traumatic incident. EMDR is well-researched and is considered an evidence-based technique.
Some of the issues that EMDR has demonstrated to be effective on: are panic attacks, complicated grief, disturbing memories, nightmares, phobias, eating disorders, performance anxiety, stress reduction, addictions, sexual and physical abuse, and chronic pain.

Calatonia®

Calatonia® is a self-regulation technique that gently brings one to a better place physically, emotionally, and cognitively before traumatic memories spontaneously surface into awareness.

It is a longer-term process requiring six to twenty sessions or more to re-organize one's psychological state, depending on the complexity and duration of the issues.

However, its benefits are immediately felt and are long-standing. Calatonia® has been described in many (qualitative research) theses and dissertations in Brazil, available in Portuguese.
Calatonia® may decrease symptoms of stress, depression, insomnia, muscle tension, digestive issues not due to a medical condition, chronic fatigue, nervous tic, Tourette syndrome, fibromyalgia, polycystic ovaries, phantom limb syndrome, sleep paralysis, night terror not due to a medical condition or substance abuse, medically unexplained symptoms, etc.

Focusing

Focusing is a self-awareness technique that is gentle and immediately effective in addressing physical symptoms or discomfort at a deeper level of meaning in their emotional and cognitive roots.  It is a tool that can be learned and used regularly, alone or with a partner, with great benefits and enhanced self-knowledge.
