You've been there and done that. You've tried a variety of ways to jump start your life and feel more alive but nothing has helped to really ignite that fire or passion within. Functional anxiety and depression has become a way of life but you know there's more to life than what you experience day to day...a lot more. Every day it's palpable...you feel an ache, a longing deep inside that hasn't yet been satisfied but it's elusive and you don't know how to get there or where to start. You've never been more eager and ready to step up and do whatever it takes to experience that level of freedom, aliveness, and soulful living.

I have worked more than 30 years with people struggling with some type of mental health symptoms and/or substance related disorders. My own therapy experiences have led me to know there are no limits to the hope available to us all; to overcome adversity, to build resiliency, and to move towards health. I believe that we all long for health and connection. I've experienced and witnessed the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity, to expand self-awareness and self acceptance, and to initiate and achieve astounding and lasting change in their lives.

Each person is on a unique life journey. We look forward to learning where you are on your journey and how we can help you create the life you desire. It is not about dwelling on the past but about using life lessons to move forward in a positive way. Even our most difficult life experiences bring us wisdom, character and integrity.

You've been in therapy before. While it was, hopefully, a positive experience, you keep finding yourself dealing with the same patterns and issues time and time again. You have insight into the "why" but seem to struggle with translating that to the more permanent changes you desire. You sense that there's a disconnect, and you're exactly right! No, it's not because you're a failure. It's because your system is working exactly how it is designed to, in favor of your survival, not in favor of your happiness. To truly address these issues, we need to employ a modality that can access the sub-cortical parts of the brain & body.

I recognize that the most important aspect to an effective treatment is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. Through this collaborative approach, the client and I, identify their strengths and build on these characteristics through therapy. We identify areas in the individuals' life which are not useful or producing an undesirable outcome-such as self-destructive behavior, poor communication skills. This enables the client to gain an understanding of their symptoms and behavior and become more able to make practical, helpful changes. This way of working can help them live a more fulfilling life with understanding and meaning.
