Therapists in Bradenton, FL

I am privileged to offer life changing services to adults, couples, & families. I see signs of distress as a disconnection from a Self that is awaiting our loving attention. There is hope for this reconnection. At our core lies a unique Center inscribed with your "blueprint" that maintains your health, wholeness, and vitality. The problem is that too many were conditioned to forget this priceless essence. Healing and wholeness are about remembering and returning to this very Center of who we uniquely are. For children and adolescents it's about nurturing it into realization so that It is never forgotten in the first place.

I offer over 28 years of clinical experience to address your emotional & physical issues with counseling and evidence based natural medicine.

Life isn't always easy or fair. If your life has gotten off track, you can get it back on track; if you don't like the way you are, remake yourself.

While we may briefly examine the past, our focus will be on how you can make your life better right now, where you are and with the resources at hand. Your life can be better and that change can begin today.
