Let's face it. Life is a juggling act between home, work, school, friends and family. Our bodies are bioenergetic systems geared for balance. When things go well, our energy flows and we feel good. When life happens and stress occurs, we can feel anxiety, depression and physical pain. We reach outside ourselves for relief when going inside is the answer. If you are ready for change and are committed to making that happen, please make an appointment today. My approach is wholistic and I use Energy Psychology (Tapping), Zen Buddhism and Mindfulness to achieve a client's goals.
I use mindfulness with clients to reduce anxiety, depression and stress. I also use Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping. It is a process of stimulating acupuncture meridians through tapping on key acupuncture points coupled with verbal stimulation. This process reduces or eliminates symptoms and a greater sense of ease occurs.
I have practiced Zen meditation for over three decades and have integrated the Buddha's teaching into my work. I also bring solid knowledge of the mind and body interface. I worked for Children's Mental Health for many years and have extensive experience working with families with special needs children.

Clients in counseling can expect to see gradual improvement of symptoms over time. Energy Psychology techniques like Tapping can provide immediate symptom relief. Changing established behavioral patterns and trauma reduction will take longer. My clients learn helpful tools to use on their own as we journey down the road to personal growth together!

In my practice, I blend attachment theory with Buddhist Psychology and Energy Psychology. I work somatically, using the client's body as a guide to finding the best approach. We set goals at the beginning of treatment, focusing on the issues at hand. We work on symptom relief and finding balance between the body and mind. Emotional regulation is always an important goal as is finding joy!
