I am an independent contractor working with Neuro Harmony, LLC. I most enjoy working with folks struggling with trauma, ADD, BPD, NDE's, and who consider themselves "quirky" or "misfits." Often they are simply seeking validation - reassurance that they are not actually "crazy" - and have the curiosity, sense of humor and resilience needed to undertake existential adventures. Like most of us, what they are basically seeking is contentment and peace of mind.

In our culture today eating disorders, sexual and porn addiction are constantly a topic in the media, conversations and of general interest to most individuals.

I appreciate a person who is ready to work on becoming the best they can be. I have a "get real" approach to what matters and that is you! I utilize your strengths to identify interfering issues and will help you to develop effective coping strategies in a confidential setting.
