I am accepting new clients. Are you struggling with stress and anxiety? Personal conflicts can hinder not only your own life but also time with others. You may be troubled by self doubt, questioning your level of commitment, or contemplating walking away from a relationship. Perhaps you are feeling disconnected from others or frustrated by an unsatisfying relationship. Maybe you're single and exhausted by the drama that can come with dating. Or, a parent who is helplessly watching your child struggle in social relationships. If these statements resonate with you, I can help you navigate the path towards more contentment.

I have helped clients overcome difficult issues from their past and/or present; find freedom from unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors; and go on to live fuller, more rewarding lives as a result. I believe that professional counseling can help provide psychological and emotional healing, as well as spiritual wholeness. I integrate the best that psychotherapy has to offer with scriptural truths. I offer the support and guidance you'll need to help identify and overcome any harmful beliefs as well as destructive behaviors that may be preventing you from fully experiencing your best life, the life that God intends for you to live.

I use a combination of transformational therapeutic modalities to facilitate your healing journey such as Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET), Transactional Analysis (TA - Ego States), Redecision Therapy (a combination of experiential therapy using TA and Gestalt Therapy) and talk therapy.
Do you realize the answers you seek exist within you? Life’s disruptions, losses and painful experiences leave negative imprints, which result in unpleasant symptoms like low self-esteem, limiting self-beliefs and negative thoughts about others and life. These experiences and the undesirable impacts cloud the part of you with all of the answers, your true essence. Together we will work to liberate you from the marks that past disturbances have left in order to be the healthiest and best version of your true self. Take a journey to intimately know and love yourself, and discover the roots of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Experiential Therapy
How does experiential therapy work?
Experiential therapy works by allowing an individual to use their creativity to re-imagine themselves and their lives in an effort to process their emotions. Experiential therapy may take many forms, including engaging clients through art, re-enactments, role-playing, music, or forms of physical recreation. By focusing on these activities, experiential therapists help individuals identify the emotions they associate with previous experiences and work together to cope with negative reactions, like fear, anger, or shame.
Is experiential therapy evidence-based?
Experiential therapy incorporates many therapy modalities, some of which have been more closely researched than others. Music therapy, for example, has been shown to help with sleep problems. Some studies find that art therapy can be beneficial for those with eating disorders or personality disorders, while other research suggests that such approaches have little impact.
How long does experiential therapy last?
The duration of experiential therapy will depend on the type of therapy used as well as the severity of the challenges an individual faces. Play therapy sessions may last for 30 to 45 minutes, and usually occur weekly for about 20 sessions. Art therapy may comprise 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Music therapy sessions generally last between 30 and 50 minutes and can be scheduled weekly or on an as-needed basis. For each therapy type, clients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
Does experiential therapy help with trauma?
Trauma is one area where experiential therapy may be useful. Traumatic experiences such as combat or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating visual art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. Listening to music can be relaxing, while making music as part of a group provides plenty of opportunities to connect with other people. Play therapy is often of value to children who have experienced a loss or distressing family experience, or who have been physically or emotionally abused.
