Because the therapeutic relationship is essential to the work, I only charge for the first session if the client chooses to continue on with me.
I am committed to empowering individuals, couples and families to take charge of their lives as a means of enhancing their relationships and improving the quality of their lives. Most individuals enter therapy when how they have been doing life is no longer working. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in my work and incorporate into each clients work those I believe will be most helpful to them and their situation. I most enjoy working with people experiencing especially challenging situations who are seeking more effective ways of coping with life stressors.

Whether struggling individually or in relationship, you got there honestly and have the capacity to restore and develop through it.
Are you finding your tolerance for change and, well, “people” is wearing thin? First, there’s activation energy to get things done, forge ahead. However, you now find yourself on the downcycle of feeling overwhelmed or hopeless with the relentless unrest and societal tensions. By going below the surface, you can find your empowerment to sustain and find ease with uncertainties and tensions. A new paradigm for “mental health” based on recent research in neuroscience and psychophysiology shifts our understanding of how you work, allowing healing and restoration at the source - your nerves. You deserve to live with ease.

Sometimes life is hard! Balancing busy lives, demanding jobs, parenting, and relationships can wear us down and make us feel like we've lost touch with our happiest and most authentic self. Anxiety, depression, past traumas, or a lack of skills and support from our own families of origin can leave us feeling disconnected, lonely, and without hope. When this happens, and you feel like you've lost yourself, where do you turn for help finding your way back to you?

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
