Therapy helps you maintain emotional resilience regardless of the difficulties we all experience in life. I specialize in holistic approaches to managing life challenges such as chronic illness, financial stress, relationship issues, etc. which normally can cause significant anxiety, depression, chronic stress, prolonged grief, or even chronic pain. Holistic therapies help you maintain the resilience you need at these times. I also have a specific focus in working with vehicular injury cases and litigation stress and I accept no-fault insurance in these cases.
I use a holistic approach to therapy that includes traditional approaches as well as meditation, education on lifestyle improvement, hypnotherapy, and even solutions that may surprise you, like sound therapy and energy work to help you reduce stress and manage emotions. I am also trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, an incredible solution for chronic pain.
If you'd like to learn more about how to apply a holistic approach to achieving mental/emotional wellness please call me for a short conversation at no charge so I can give you more details and also answer any questions you may have for me. I very much look forward to talking with you.

I have special experience working with victims of car accidents. A close family member experienced this kind of challenge and the resulting stress of court proceedings, IME visits, loss of income, and the life-long health consequences resulting from the experience. For this reason I am especially knowledgeable about how to successfully resolve the kind of issues involved in this experience.

I use a holistic approach tailored to your needs. Different therapies resonate differently for each person. Some people are eager to make lifestyle changes while others just need someone who will listen and allow them to process their emotions verbally. I have a wide range of therapies to offer so that we can find whatever is the best fit for you.
