Life is challenging. Often more is expected of us while we struggle to manage those demands. This is made even more difficult when dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotions that can drain us physically and influence our thoughts and behaviors. You don't have to face this alone. We can work together to help you find peace of mind through processing core issues and developing skills to meet future challenges.

If you want to feel better about your life, I am confident that I can help. I genuinely care about the well-being of others, and like to see people live happy successful lives.

I use evidence based therapy interventions and track changes in people's moods and behaviors to monitor whether therapy is helping, and changes are being made.

Are you finding yourself struggling with life challenges or transitions and need help learning to cope? Life presents challenges to each of us every day whether that is illness, relationships, or the stress of our busy lives. Having a professional available to listen to you and help you learn to cope can be a necessity in today’s hectic world.

There may be times in your life when you feel as if you are surviving life instead of enjoying it. Now may be one of those moments. Survival is an instinct that drives many human behaviors and is completely acceptable. Moving beyond survival requires support.

If you are seeking emotional wellness, self-acceptance, personal growth, or help in finding answers, I invite you to call for consultation and determine whether I am the right therapist for you.

My clients usually want to feel better faster & learn mind-body-energy-spirit tools to improve their sense of well-being naturally. They are tired of feeling a victim of genes and biochemistry. Society makes us believe that healing - our spirit, emotions, negative thought and behavior patterns - is out of our control, and drugs are our only option. The latest science (neuroplasticity, epigenetics, quantum biology, consciousness studies+) suggests otherwise, showing that our brain, bodily processes, even our genes, respond to healthy changes in thinking and feeling. And the more we are true to our deepest nature, the deeper we heal.
