I am a trauma-informed, client-centered therapist. What that means is I desire to help you recognize and understand the impact that past experiences may have on your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Then, we will go a step further and identify if those things are still serving you or if there are areas you’d like to change.

Life is the adventure. Live your myth! The journey of self-discovery is lifelong and we all need a guide or an ally along the way at some point. If you are in the midst of a crisis, feeling one coming on, or just stuck feeling sad, anxious, uninspired, frustrated, or confused then the quickest way forward is to find professional help. For the past 25 years, I have been leading people through profound experiences of transformation toward lives beyond their wildest dreams. My adventure-based and talk therapy sessions can quickly help you to achieve results through the techniques I employ in the “national best practice” I created.

Therapy can be the opportunity to explore our lives in a safe space and unpack why we feel stuck. I encourage my clients to discuss what they want to see happen in their life and work with them on developing goals. I use a combination of family structure, emotional focus and family of origin modes of therapy in my practice. Therapy for some can be a new experience and I honor that.

Therapy creates a space for individuals, couples and families to learn new strategies to address the challenges of life. My approach is to work with you on your desired outcomes with no judgment or steering in a particular direction. All feelings serve a purpose. Every person has the ability to feel fulfilled, create close relationships and be successful. Learn tools to take back control of your feelings and maintain emotional stability. I am a firm believer that although we can't change our circumstances or the past, we can change how we react in the present.
