In recent extensive European travel, I discovered a real cancer elimination process in Germany. I refer to and provide information about that clinic. In addition, I learned of and have personally used a simple rapid process to escape opioid addiction without withdrawal symptoms or cravings. My psychotherapeutic work in the last few years has centered on Couples and Marital Counselling. However, I enjoy hearing from past patients and can often help them through tough life passages.

Are you looking to make a change? Do you feel stuck in your life? I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with diverse clients. My approach is integrative and holistic using psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, meditation and mindfulness. In our sessions you will have the chance to learn coping skills that will help you change problematic patterns of behavior and connecting with your authentic self.

I like to think of therapy from a Body-Mind-Spirit perspective, a holistic approach that invites all our parts into the healing process, creating opportunities for change and growth. I believe therapy is a way for individuals to connect and access their own wisdom to make the changes for a life that is most inspiring and fulfilling. I combine elements of Western psychotherapy, Neuroscience and Eastern traditions. I draw from 20+ years of meditation, yoga, spirituality, and coaching background as well as extensive training in traditional and psychosensory psychotherapy: IFS, EMDR, Brainspotting, Mindfulness, Havening Technique, CBT

As a clinician, the therapeutic process is only meaningful and complete with the reciprocity and engagement of those I work with. Each individual is unique and their stories are interwoven with a rich tapestry of diverse emotions. By balancing the abstract, creative, philosophical, and introspective aspects of life with friendliness, compassion, empathy and care, I walk the path with you on your journey toward peace and happiness.

Welcome! I understand that taking the step to attend therapy can be overwhelming. I offer an empathetic, safe, and welcoming environment that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, where you can discuss your vulnerabilities and work towards self-empowerment. We heal when we allow someone to witness our pain, so I consider it a privilege when someone decides to work with me. I welcome open dialogue and discussion in our sessions. The human experience can be complex, so I take a down-to-earth and open approach while working alongside my clients. Together, we will find solutions to any obstacles you may be experiencing.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I have years of experience helping clients deal with anxiety, depression and anger problems and with couples who are looking to reduce marital conflict. When new clients call me they are looking for help in coping so they can feel better and handle their life challenges more effectively. Some people are looking for understanding of what happened and how they got here, and some are more interested in learning coping skills quickly, and most want some combination of both approaches. I listen to what their individual wants and needs and plan accordingly.

Beginning therapy can be scary and is a bold step toward making proactive changes in your life. I provide a warm and relaxed atmosphere to explore your emotional life in a safe and supportive space. Aware of the importance of the body, I experience you as a whole person: your words, life themes, affect, posture, and your presence. By experiencing you in your wholeness, I can contextualize what can feel confusing or fragmentary. I can share what I see and understand, helping you raise your self-awareness. This process can harmonize your thoughts and emotions. Insight alone often is not sufficient for healing.

I am passionate about helping you create real change from within so you can experience life, sex, intimacy, and relationships as your heart desires. If you want to feel secure, confident, and satisfied in how you relate to intimacy and your relationships, I help you navigate your traumas, fears, wounds, and conditioning around attachment, love & relationships. I help you take your personal power back, remind you of your own inherent wisdom and truth, and teach you how to release the never-ending "broken" "fix it" cycle of self-improvement and repetitive painful experiences.

My private practice offers a warm and caring place to build skills and enhance personal growth. Therapy is a guided process of self-discovery. It provides access to develop and strengthen skills so that new, healthier thoughts and behaviors take the place of old unhealthy ones. My approach is determined by your needs. I pay attention to your strengths, guided by a belief that you already possess the ability to make things better. My style is down-to-earth and supportive, and I believe that active listening and feedback are essential so that you feel understood. Then we work together on identifying and reaching your goals.

I enjoy working with a large spectrum of clients. From the intellectual client to the client who is emotionally aware, to the client who may have once been resistant to seeking treatment but is willing to explore it now. I have successfully worked with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and relationship issues. Motivation to succeed and interest in change is my ideally compatible client.

With over two decades of experience in faith-based psychotherapy, mental health counseling and inpatient rehabilitation, I am uniquely competent integrating clinical expertise and Christian spirituality in a holistic approach to thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

I see couples and adult clients, and have other counselors (with lower fees) at my practice who work with adolescents and children.

I treat individuals, couples and families with the perspective of the whole system. Each person has learned beliefs and ideologies from their family of origin and bring those with them when they enter a new relationship. Helping uncover how those beliefs affect their lives is often key to the underpinnings of their problems and being able to decide what works for them is critical to being able to create a strong foundation in their relationships.
