I enjoy working with individuals seeking to recapture opportunities to create emotional and relationship harmony.

Would you like to get help fulfilling your life, whether you have lost a job, marriage, relationship, relative, or location? Do you have ADHD? How did you find out? I offer free consultations to those adults who are looking to improve their quality of life, especially if they are anxious or depressed.

Most of my clients seek help, due to a change in their life that they would like to handle in a more positive, and efficient way.

I am a cognitive behavioral therapist who likes to assist clients in looking at their life choices past, present and future. By looking at the unsuccessful patterns, we may devise new successful behavioral models. By changing how you think of a situation, you will change how you behave in that situation. I am direct and I like to educate my clients and often utilize current books as an extra resource.

I practice from two different modalities: Reality Therapy and Insight Therapy. Reality Therapy (Choice-Centered approach) helps the patient determine how effective their behaviors have been in fulfilling their needs and then works with the patient to determine a plan for more effective actions. Insight Therapy encourages empowerment of the individual which implies personal responsibility for one's behavior. I specialize in working with patients needing assistance with Anger Management, Marital/Premarital Counseling, Individual/Adolescent Counseling, Loss & Bereavement Recovery, Sexual Addiction/Recovery, Personal Growth & Enrichment, and Divorce Healing. I also possess knowledge in understanding acute mental illness symptoms from my training at Riverside Psyciatric Hospital.

Many of us come to therapy because we are experiencing symptoms, feelings or circumstances that we want to change. Only to discover that there might be deeper things that we desire, that the symptoms are only the surface. We discover that we want to find our purpose or calling, that we want freedom from expectations, freedom from fears. We are seeking meaningful and honest relationships. We wish to communicate efficiently. We crave inspiration, imagination, creativity, and clarity. We long to move forward, wherever that place is. We want to expand and feel the infinity that we are and explore all possibilities in our lives.

Are you ready to get past a longstanding problem or manage a life transition? Working with me is about discovering and building on your core strengths. My 'office' is a safe place to dream, question, and grow. The reward IS worth the risk. My all time favorite vision quote: "Vision is greater than baggage." (Steven R. Covey) Clients who do especially well in working with me are typically: motivated, follow through with homework assignments, and maintain integrity with me (that is, they don't lie to me).

Life is a series of choices. Insight is vital, but lasting change happens when we do something different that is effective in building our self and a new perspective on life's possibilities.

I have facilitated transformational trainings internationally for nearly 30 years, reigniting passion in relationships, supporting breakthroughs and having people step fully into who they are.
