Addiction is a confusing, overwhelming, & powerful force. It is all- encompassing, taking over slowly or quickly in every area of one's life. Before long you don't know which way is up and are just struggling to get through the day...or hour. Together we uncover patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, understand why you developed these patterns, and discover new ways of living. I support individuals in rediscovering who they are and what they are passionate about.

Let me help you "Design Your Life!" We tend to design certain parts of our lives, maybe where we're going to live, or what kind of job we want to have. But when it comes to the most important things: relationships, marriages, parenting, and our own happiness, we often tend to just land where we land. Then we wonder why we are not happy or why things are not working out the way we had hoped. My goal is to help you get in the "driver's seat" of your life, to find true fulfillment, to "Design Your Life."

You have been thinking about this for a while, but keep putting it off. To talk to someone about what is holding you back, what keeps you stuck, and what has prevented you from being happy with yourself and your life. You are now ready to take this courageous step. You are seeking someone who will not judge you, but who will actively listen to what you have to say. Someone who will make you feel comfortable and safe to address the symptoms that bring you to therapy, whether it be depression, anxiety, grief, or unresolved trauma.

I am entering my 48th year in the counseling field during which time there have been significant advances in our understanding of human behavior. One thing that has not changed however, is the importance of choosing an experienced therapist if you wish to make any "changes" in your life. Fortunately, there are some benefits that come with age and experience after seeing thousands of individuals and families since 1971. Give me a call and we can talk about your issue. I can probably help you.

Everyone deserves a chance at feeling their best, even if there seems to be no hope and you can't find the answers. Neurofeedback gives people hope through noticeable changes- a lightness of being, a sense of peace that emanates from within. Neurofeedback disrupts the issues in neural and central nervous system dysfunctions and allows people to function at their very best. I've personally helped countless people attain the life they deserve, free from emotional, mental, and physical impairments.
