Stressed, anxious, unhappy, frustrated or unfulfilled, any one or combination of these feelings can make you feel as if your life has gone off track and at a loss as to how to make it better. Becoming involved in a relationship which is private, safe, nonjudgmental and trusting with a therapist who is skilled and experienced in helping you understand and overcome your struggles can help you feel better and achieve goals which you set for yourself. I offer this type of relationship. We can work together to make your life much better and more satisfying. I have been helping people with their life difficulties for over 35 years.

Everyone experiences times of uncertainty, which can block us from leading our most fulfilling life, full of self-love/acceptance and dynamic relationships. Uncertainty can lead to overwhelm, anxiety, depression and frustration. When we get to a 'stuck' place the last thing we may want to do is reach out for help, but this is when help is most needed, and can open us up to hopefulness and receiving compassion, understanding, acceptance, and peace. 'Stuck' places come in various forms, have roots that need to be uncovered and healed. By reaching out for help solutions are achievable.

This can be confusing and painful times. I help you navigate through personal paradigm shifts (life changes) using concepts from various branches of psychology and metaphysics. I offer guidance and counsel in understanding these concepts and provide techniques and resources to help them create their own treatment techniques. This is counsel for those who want to continue on the path of self-development and learn essential skills for higher conscious
