We all carry unique burdens of the mind, pains of our history, and cultural programming. It is true that we all experience suffering in one form or another as a natural part of life. It is also true that this suffering can be transformed and transcended. Through this transformation it is possible to experience a more connected relationship with the world within and around us. I am open to serve those experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, and spiritual confusion. I am also open to serving those interested in cultivating meditation and other spiritual practices, and generally enhancing quality of life.

The therapeutic process has been found to be challenging but what is harder to live with a less than a good quality of life. My commitment to assist my client’s can make that therapeutic process less intimidating. Through my dedication and the client’s willingness for change together can assist with the struggles of the client's mental health. The main ingredient is enough courage to take the first step and reach out to a professional for guidance through the healing process. There is no greater strength than addressing those things that are keeping someone from their full potential.

Sometimes you don't really know what you have until you almost lose it. You might've told yourself that what your partner doesn't know won't hurt them. The truth is, everyone gets caught eventually and secrets can be painful. If you are struggling with the pain that you've caused yourself and someone else through infidelity, sexual addiction, or substance abuse it is not too late to get help. Most people don't recognize that they are struggling with addiction until they try to quit.
