Life is full of transitions to be navigated and relationships to negotiate. It is easy to become stuck while trying to figure out the next step of your career or chart your future. Often, family relationships can become complicated or difficult due to a lack of boundaries or over-controlling family members.

Occasionally, people have experienced traumatic events which have stunted their emotional development and caused them pain, leaving them with destructive behaviors in their adult life. Using Affect Management Skills Training (AMST) and Affect Centered Therapy (ACT), developed by John Omaha, PhD, MFT, I can help you learn to recognize, tolerate, and regulate a range of emotions. This provides the platform to do deeper healing work which processes past trauma and frees people from being bound by their emotions. I have used this protocol for 10 years with addicts and their traumatized partners and can testify to how life-changing AMST and ACT can be.

Sometimes, just having a caring, objective person who has life experience, education and training can really help clarify the difficult issues of life. Other times, clients need deeper work, like AMST and ACT. Whatever your situation, I can help you work through it.

Life is difficult. You don't need to do it alone. Call me 408-966-3312
