I love working with people that are in the midst of the "dark night of the soul." Those that are struggling with grief, profound pain, debilitating anxiety or depression, any form of suffering, or major transitions in life that have left them confused or lost. These clients want peace and calm. They want to discover meaning in life, find their joy once again, and possibly searching for their purpose in life. Some want to learn to regulate a dysregulated nervous system or stop constant fearful thinking. Therefore, I integrate spirituality using the Eckhart Tolle method and behavior psychology to help them relieve their suffering.
For decades, I helped children with severe behavior disorders. In 2018, I retired, wrote a memoir called Chaos in Color, went on a book tour while studying under Eckhart Tolle. I received a certification in being a Teacher of Presence. I now help others become conscious/present in order to find peace from pain, loss, and suffering. Peace is found in presence
For anyone experiencing any form of suffering, please contact me. I go beyond psychology into the realm of spirituality to help you find peace and awaken. I give you strategies and exercises each session to stop the incessant fearful thinking and become present.
