Throughout life, everyone has adopted some negative beliefs, downloads from parents and early life, and most have some sort of traumas from different periods of their life. Often we do not realize these negative influences and the impact it has on our attitudes, behaviors and health. I work as a Synergetic and Energy therapist helping clients to clear these negative influences in order to allow the client to embrace ongoing health and happiness.

I am a firm believer in the transformative power of therapy. So often, I encounter individuals who just feel "stuck" in their lives. Some of them have felt this way for years before seeking help! Working collaboratively, I strive to guide clients in finding the obstacles standing in the way of their ability to live their best lives.

Being a psychotherapist for the past 20 years has and continues to be a journey with people that validates my belief healing and deep change is truly possible. The therapeutic relationship which is a special and sacred connection is by far the most essential ingredient to real shifts in our attachment systems and long held unconscious beliefs about ourselves and the world. My background is mainly centered in Body/Mind experiential psychotherapy. I help people to slow down and bring mindful awareness to their experience. This allows us to study together what’s happening in the here and now.

In session with clients I create the opportunity for limiting habitual behavioral patterns and core beliefs to safely surface to conscious awareness so that they can be explored and where appropriate, transformed.

I believe in the restorative power of hope. Over the course of my career I have been able to support clients to internalize the belief that they can make change in their lives.

Through partnership, trust and the sharing of knowledge, real movement can occur. There is hope.

I work with clients ranging from adolescence through adulthood. Therapists typically describe themselves by listing the disorders they treat, such as depression, anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Though I have significant experience with all of these issues, I view many symptoms as important expressions of an internal struggle that may have begun long before clients seek therapy. These symptoms often and understandably create misery, but I believe that approaching them with curiosity may ultimately provide a path to reducing or even eliminating them.
