Is a counseling center whose mission is to help heal the pain of the past and releasing of emotional pain. Through this process you open to the wisdom of your Heart.

Processes such as mindfulness, EMDR, Prayer and meditation are used to heal the brain and to access inner wisdom, Spirit or God. We do this by helping you feel safe when confronting your pain and fears through nature imagery. With children we use play to help them express their life experience, which brings healing.

My passion is helping individuals ( children, teens and adults), couples, families, and groups work through stress, anxiety, fear, personal challenges, grief, family, and relationship issues.
Deciding to come to therapy can be very scary. Sharing your most intimate thoughts with someone can be even more frightening. This is why I make sure that I create a very safe, caring, positive, and secure place where you can feel comfortable and know that you are with someone who truly cares about your well-being.

It takes a lot of courage for an individual to ask for help when it comes to ones emotional well being. These days it is easy to put our emotions and feelings in the back seat and forget how important it is to take care of our mental health. Our emotions drive so much of what we do; whether that is an important life decision, our romantic relationships or our interactions with our families. I like to approach my patient’s presenting problem in a very individualistic manner; understanding that although many individuals may have similar life circumstances each patient has their own way of managing or coping.

I believe that, without exception, every individual carries within, the capacity required for healing to occur. As a therapist, it is my honor and privilege to help clients and their families uncover and understand the meanings and feelings associated with their symptoms. Whether the primary client is a child, adolescent, or adult, I work collaboratively with couples/parents to create a treatment plan that is right for the family as a whole. From this perspective we can then work together to discover more adaptive and creative ways to solve problems, build relationships, and live rich and fulfilling lives.
