"A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences." Thomas a' Kempis I have been a practitioner since 1988. Over the last 22 years of practice, my approach to therapy has become very eclectic. I have come to understand that no one style can possibly meet the needs of everyone that comes to me for assistance. However, the one variable that is always necessary for a successful therapeutic experience is the positive and trusting bond that is formed between me and those I work wit.

Everyone deserves a chance at feeling their best, even if there seems to be no hope and you can't find the answers. Neurofeedback gives people hope through noticeable changes- a lightness of being, a sense of peace that emanates from within. Neurofeedback disrupts the issues in neural and central nervous system dysfunctions and allows people to function at their very best. I've personally helped countless people attain the life they deserve, free from emotional, mental, and physical impairments.

DO YOU NEED A SAFE HAVEN TO DISCUSS YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES?

Addiction is a confusing, overwhelming, & powerful force. It is all- encompassing, taking over slowly or quickly in every area of one's life. Before long you don't know which way is up and are just struggling to get through the day...or hour. Together we uncover patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, understand why you developed these patterns, and discover new ways of living. I support individuals in rediscovering who they are and what they are passionate about.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy.

Intimate partner violence, Sexual Assault is a real problem. (7 out of 10) The shame and torture of the untold story. Crying when no one is looking. Wine, multiple partners, pills, hiding. Time isn’t being friendly. This ever looming weight in the distance. Unwanted outbursts. You can’t sit still unconsciously trying to fill this dark void. Swept under the rug by humiliation, hopeless and in despair, cold and without reprieve. Less than whole, desperate to know that there is an end that doesn’t end it all.

Let me help you "Design Your Life!" We tend to design certain parts of our lives, maybe where we're going to live, or what kind of job we want to have. But when it comes to the most important things: relationships, marriages, parenting, and our own happiness, we often tend to just land where we land. Then we wonder why we are not happy or why things are not working out the way we had hoped. My goal is to help you get in the "driver's seat" of your life, to find true fulfillment, to "Design Your Life."

Do you feel that you've tried everything, but just aren't feeling satisfied with your life? Are you feeling "stuck?" Does it look like you have the perfect life from the outside, but you aren't truly enjoying it? In today's busy, rushed, "connected" world, we can often feel alone with our most intimate struggles, and even disconnected from ourselves. Therapy with a caring and attentive professional can allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a deeper way, allowing discovery of new perspectives and choices along the way.
