There are many reasons for seeking therapy, but most often the goal is to feel better, live more fully, or improve coping skills. I believe that effective therapy is tailored to the presenting issue, specific treatment goals, individual temperament as well as an ongoing assessment of effectiveness. My style is one of openness, acceptance, curiosity, respect, optimism, and encouragement.

Are you yearning to be your authentic self but feel held back by anxiety, hopelessness, or unhelpful old beliefs? Do you notice unhealthy relationship patterns you want to change? In my practice I use a method of holistic psychotherapy called Soul Lightening Acupressure which incorporates energy work and is gentle, effective, and efficient. As energy that has been lodged in your body from trauma or stress flows freely again, old patterns of thoughts and behaviors can clear, insights arise, and rapid and lasting healing can occur. After a session you will usually feel calm, centered, grounded, and lighter with new sense of clarity.

The science and technique of providing therapy is something I consider an honor to share with client’s. If you are suffering, struggling to connect, or to find stability and progress in life, the process of therapy can support your growth and self esteem through these challenges. I work primarily with adults, couples, and teens on specific issues such as anxiety, emotional dis-regulation, relationship stress, trauma or loss, difficult transitions, and family or career development. Engaging in therapy can be the first step toward creating more balance and confidence in what matters most to you.

It can take time, effort and courage to call and arrive at a therapist's office. There is the apprehension of what this experience will be like, especially if it is your first time, or perhaps if you are trying again after a previous unsatisfactory experience. After you make the call, and once you begin, there is hope. And that alone is enough to sustain you while you work toward self-understanding and/or improved communication with your mate or children. The investment is worthwhile. The relief can be profound.

Marriage can be extremely challenging, especially if your childhood was less than ideal. I help couples learn to listen to each other and talk about difficult issues without being triggered by past events or experiences. These reactions can cause defensiveness, or result in attacks on, or withdrawal from, the other. I help change these patterns, facilitate productive discussions and help you get the love and closeness back in your marriage. Couples can heal, become stronger in their bond and rejoin in love even after an affair or infatuation. I have 29 years of experience as an insight-oriented psychotherapist working with individuals and couples.
