Offering guidance, nurturing, and deeper insight into health and healing is my primary approach to counseling with clients. I have many years of experience guiding individuals and couples toward self-empowerment and healing.

I use traditional approaches as well as hypnotherapy, therapeutic dream exploration, and a newer, very powerful insight based instrument called MARI. See more at www.expmari.com.
