Life can sometimes place so many obstacles you are not sure what to do or how to handle them. Then past issues get in the way of your ability to move on with things in your life and make it difficult to handle daily challenges. If you are interested in moving past your past and finding new ways of coping, then give me a call.

Welcome! Life Enhancement is my specialty. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic programming with more than 20 years of training in the Holistic Health and Wellness field. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy. We will work together to support you to achieve your goals with a customized program designed specifically to improve the quality of your life. Your success is my priority.

There are multiple approaches we can take to therapy together, whether that is dealing with stressors in the present or processing difficult or traumatic events from the past. We can work to develop better insight and self-compassion, set boundaries and develop healthier relationships, or unpack privilege and learn to be a better ally. I am comfortable and knowledgeable about topics relating to sex and sexuality, sex positivity, poly/non-monogamy, and intersections of identity. I have working knowledge in domestic violence, sexual abuse, sexual offending, and addiction issues.

I believe that the client-therapist relationship is foundational to the success of your treatment and I take your overall satisfaction seriously. I work with adults and children as a solution-focused therapist. I also work with chronic pain, reproductive health, and women's health, and infertility. I also focus heavily on the parent-child relationship and family systems work. I have training in many parenting and discipline practices that have effectively helped manage challenging behaviors as well as address parenting snafus. I am also interested in and helping people explore human sexuality and relationships.

***NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS****I am passionate about people leading empowered, connected, and purposeful lives. I provide counseling services to diverse clients as they learn, change, grow, and function in increasingly inspired, creative, healthy and adaptive ways. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying needs, making changes, and practicing new skills in a safe and supportive setting. I am experienced in working with adults, couples, families, as well as adolescent clients, on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, identity, and unwanted thoughts or emotions.

I work with those who have suffered from low self-worth for most of their lives; with people who believe they are unlovable and unworthy of connection or belonging, and who would classify themselves as 'not enough.' These sorts of beliefs are extremely painful and often cause us to cope in ways that can lead to issues with eating disorders, pervasive anxiety, depression, feeling out of control with emotions, social isolation, crisis of faith, and insecurity in relationships. When we struggle with low self-worth we tend to become our own worst enemies and can easily get stuck in this pattern, not knowing how to free ourselves.

You encounter stressors throughout life and the ability to cope with these stressors will wax and wane over time. If you have reached a point in your life that you find yourself struggling I would love to walk alongside you to overcome these life stressors and create better coping skills to reach a better quality of life. I specialize in treating various forms of trauma and behavior change. If you have the desire to improve your life and willing to invest in yourself I would love to work with you on reaching your goals.
