Welcome!

The Artemis Center for Family Therapy provides individual, couples and family therapy. My areas of expertise include relational trauma, neurodiverse relationships and assessments. Individuals seeking my specializations are typically dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Depression, Complicated Grief, Substance Use Disorders and relational challenges.

I am a somatically oriented therapist, meaning I focus first on what’s going on in your body on a physiological level. In the treatment of trauma, research & experience has taught us that we must first identify & then calm the body’s physiological reactivity to stress before we can be effective in calming the mind. In session you will learn about the importance of regulating the Vagus Nerve, belly breathing, grounding, paying attention to your five senses, mindful walks, therapeutic yoga, sound therapy and moving meditations all designed to help you arrive in the present and begin to foster mind + body + relational balance and attunement.

In my work Neurodiverse clients, we work together to identify specific challenges and strengths and then develop a specialized treatment approach for each individual. This may include a formal assessment, psychoeducation about ASD, ADHD, OCD, Depression and Anxiety which often present as a constellation. You will practice Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction techniques to help you respond more effectively to anxiety. We can work on effective rules for communication & navigating social situations. We can unmask areas of neurodiverse sensitivities which may be presenting challenges for you in relationships or in the work / education setting.

I am trained in EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis, Somatic Integrative Body Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Eco-Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Neurodiverse Coaching. I can provide complete assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
