I enjoy seeing the relief and joy return to my client's lives again once they learn new ways to cope and manage life. Therapy works quickly when one is ready to change. I can really motivate and inspire new ways to live using multiple techniques to create immediate and lasting change. We all want a high quality of life, yet have limited amounts of time. Changes can occur even coming to counseling every other week or monthly. It can even be done online if you're busy traveling or have a hectic schedule. Self care is something we all must do to have a balanced life that is healthy in mind, body and spirit. Are you caring for yourself?
Each situation is different and requires a customized approach. I take a holistic & clinical approach to assess one's lifestyle, family dynamics, strengths/limitations, and current dilemmas. I believe in finding solutions to help one function at their highest potential. My clients not only grow from their sessions with me, but also with the weekly homework.
I really get what my patient's need and what they are saying. I can connect quickly and really intuitively understand the direction they need to go. If you're tired of the same old situation and ready to begin to explore new options, than right now is the time to call me. Why wait? How much longer are you willing to deal with your current situation?

Every person is unique and so is the treatment process. I use CBT for anxiety, depression, insomnia and self esteem. I also treat trauma with EMDR and somatic therapy for those needing help from the bottom up of their nervous system when talk therapy isn't working for them. For others Reiki energy work and holistic therapy is an option for them. Let's talk what right for your situation!
