My passion is holistic and transformational psychology: unite mind, body, emotions and spirit. Although classically trained, I now live my clinical truth: transformational psychology and spirituality, intuition, mind body healing, energy, newer trauma treatment methods, reworking core-beliefs, and potent interactive guided imagery I've developed my entire career. My intention is: heal core issues; shed limiting negative thoughts and emotions; live personal truth, the calling in one's heart, and assist the Grand Transformation on our planet. This combines with newer views of science and psychology, consciousness, quantum physics, energy, ancient wisdom, spirituality, trusting inner knowing and direct experience.

Are you feeling you'd like to talk with someone privately? Are you afraid no one could understand you? Are your feelings about yourself holding you back, and you feel stuck? This is a time when naturally one does not know what to do. And, the choice is often having to take a leap and do something about it. This a a natural fear for many people. Opening up can seem frightening. A good therapist knows that. Many who take the step for therapy find that is was the right move.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals and couples. I also do hypnotherapy and psychological evaluations. My theoretical orientation depends on your needs and the type of therapy you are seeking. In order for psychotherapy to be effective, there must be openness and trust, commitment to change, and an attitude of collaboration between client and therapist. Together we will explore the problems that led you into therapy, discuss your past as it is relevant to your present situation, and establish goals for your treatment.

We believe that therapy is an important life choice that people make when things get tough. This courageous decision must be honored with compassion, empathy, and sincerity. I began this practice because I am passionate about helping people and sharing in their journey towards greater health and happiness. It is important for people to feel safe in therapy, and thus people can feel free to say what is on their minds and in their hearts and will always be met with compassionate understanding.

You’re maxed out. People around you think you have it all together, while internally you’re imploding. You feel like you’re never doing enough and you could better control everything if you just tried harder. Maybe you struggle with a disordered relationship with your body or food. If you're wanting to free yourself from the constant worry cycle you find yourself in, then I would love to partner with you. Together we will create an environment that feels safe for you to give voice to your current struggles.

You feel misunderstood and unheard. College/work stresses you out, family conflict makes you anxious, and sometimes you feel like things are impossible. As a young adult, you feel a heavyweight on your shoulders. You’ve got all kinds of people giving you advice, telling you what to do, and trying to run your life. You’re confused and overwhelmed. You’re stuck between wanting to make your own decisions and feeling like you’re not in control. You’re at this awkward stage. You’re technically an adult...but maybe you don’t feel ready for all of the responsibilities of adulthood.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
