"When your discouraged, down and feeling helpless, feeling better can be a confusing journey. Often the roots of unwanted emotions are the problem.

I can help you regain or perhaps feel for the first time, a healthy sense of yourself. "

"NOW ACCEPTING PRESBYTERIAN. Individuals, regardless of their age, development stage, background experiences and environment, suffer immensely from numerous social and behavioral challenges, sexual abuse, mental, emotional and psychological issues. These issues which lead to mental disorders, cause frustration, which are manifested in behavioral and relational problems, isolation, substance abuse, increased aggression and a general negative outlook on life.

"If you struggle with difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors, I offer a person centered approach with existential therapy and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) to help you to get out of your head and moving towards what really matters to you. ACT is an evidence based therapy that can help people with stress, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behavior, chronic pain, substance abuse. PTSD, addictions, eating disorders and other mental health challenges. I believe it’s important to deeply listen and try to understand what ails as we begin. My approach is trauma informed, compassionate, intuitive and practical. "

"Life is about emotional development. Development gets delayed by trauma and loss, and then symptoms appear. These symptoms may show up as depression, grief, failed relationships, addictions, health issues, rage, and ambivalence toward life. Initiation from one phase to another is halted, and growth stops. Fear and terror can and do set in. Psychotherapy helps us integrate the fear of transformation and emotions. Instead of midlife crises, we have a deepening of experience, and we create meaning and purpose. This is true for all developmental stages, for all age groups. Development starts at conception, and continues through death."

"My clinical background and training have led me to have a somewhat unique understanding and view of the origin and treatment of mental health issues from cause to effect and I believe that everything we do makes sense, we may just not understand why and what purpose it serves. I access a broad range of clinical techniques and theories to help bring understanding to the therapeutic process and treat the whole individual. By working with a blend of evidence based theories and techniques I help address the thoughts, feelings, behaviors and associated physiology that result in psychological distress."

"Dreams and the unconscious hold symbols that assist in the healing process for depression, anxiety, and addictions. As a Jungian clinical counselor, I use these tools to help you establish a connection between consciousness and the higher Self. The Self then becomes a strong core from which we can operate in a healed and healthy manner. We are no longer driven by unconscious complexes and desires, but make conscious decisions that support life and its many expressions."
