My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I believe that life is about consciousness, balance, and relationship. We heal and grow by shining the light on the darkness instead of avoiding it. This philosophy is a complete approach to the journey. We want to look at the whole of the issue and then work through the details. This brings us to a higher level of awareness that gives us more connection to the different parts of ourselves with a focus on sexuality, romance, intelligence, and spirit. The method of treatment used is a combination of somatic based, mental based, and spiritual based treatment.
I work well with trauma and with addictions and I specialize in working with and treating intimacy issues/sex therapy. I approach work with clients using body-centered and Jungian therapy, which incorporates a person's mind, body, spirit, and emotions in the healing process. This approach helps people to remove the blocks to find satisfaction in their lives.
A structured 6 month program is what I use. I choose to bring the masculine and feminine together. The body, mind, and soul are all important to lead a fulfilling life. The truth sets us free. If you experience an internal truth of wanting to uncover the deeper meaning of life, I will support your journey on recognizing and owning your personal strengths

I work with people to confront the work that is needed to help them feel connected to their sexuality. People have many different blocks to connecting to themselves and it is often from experiences that cause trauma. Addictions are often a way that people learn to cope with the trauma. I help people appreciate how addictions are an outcome of the trauma, and then reconnect them to their sexuality.

My treatment methods are a combination of somatic therapy and spiritual work. I find it important to combine the integrity and stability of connecting and trusting ourselves with the emotional and psychological work. This creates a more holistic tool that can be used for the journey of life.
