I provide a compassionate and empathetic approach to counseling with individuals, couples, families and teens. I have created a safe environment where clients can explore the changes they would like to make in their lives. My practice utilizes methods using mind-body healing in helping clients create an emotional, physical and spiritual balance in their lives. The heart of my work focuses on using client's strengths to help them overcome the challenges that they face. My therapy practice is based on a variety of approaches which I adapt to issues that meet the needs of my clients.
I use an integrative approach, incorporating evidence-based treatment interventions combined with well-researched methods to help clients achieve their goals. My experience includes helping clients deal with depression, anxiety, PTSD, family problems and life transitions, as well as marital problems and stress management.
I have a Ph.D. in Holistic Health Sciences from Clayton College of Natural Health which enhances my traditional counseling skills in providing wellness coaching and in working with emotional issues that contribute to physical illness and pain. I have over 30 years experience in working with older adults.
