This site has not been updated in quite awhile, actually I have lost contact with the person that administered this site so it’s impossible for me to make any changes. While I explore where I go from here I thought I would update you some.
This past September 2011, I began my 14th year of working with ADHD, ODD, OCD, Anxiety, Anger and PTSD. I now serve Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Nevada, Yolo and Solano Counties. I also added Skype for some out of state clients and those that are really into the techno thing. I continue to do Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) for individual clients and teach a collection of Healthcare Courses.
CBT is the current treatment model for AXIS I disorders, these type disorders include but are not limited to ADHD, ODD, OCD, Anxiety/Panic and PTSD. CBT is skills training in strategies and techniques, organization and planning, setting priorities, problem-solving and coping with distractions. It’s developing appropriate thought responses to stressful situations and re-structuring internal dialogue.
I will give you many strategies and tools to pick and choose from since working with these conditions is not a one size fits all strategy. I will give you the most up-to-date techniques that have been well studied for effectiveness by reputable organizations. I will give you support and encouragement and a place to vent. I will give you understanding and empathy. I’ll relieve your guilt and help you regain emotional control and I’ll work with you in a courteous and mutually respectful manner.
A few changes on the personal end as well. I no longer volunteer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation or the Adopt-A-Plot at the Old City Cemetery. I’m now a “wandering spirit” for the cemeteries annual fundraiser, a guided night time tour through the cemetery around Halloween that is loads of fun and my work with the Mendocino Land Trust continues.
I continue to paint and work in my garden for inspiration and I’m beginning to dabble some in tie dying!
