Sorry I am not able to accept new clients at this time. I have been a clinician for over 40 years and offer energy psychotherapy and counseling to adults & teens, primarily for healing from trauma. Energy psychology is a gentle approach to resolving problems. It often offers a quicker and deeper resolution than talk therapy alone can provide. I also work with anxiety, depression, and many other problems.

Psychotherapy is often described as ‘the treatment of mental disorders,’ but that is only one of many reasons a person may seek services. Psychologists have the unique knowledge & expertise to draw connections between past relational patterns, individual brain chemistry, heritability of symptoms, emotional awareness, & thought processes/behaviors that perpetuate impairments in functioning. Psychotherapy isn’t a matter of asking a question & receiving advice - but rather learning the skills to make sense of life & building the confidence to take control of it.

My approach to therapy is focused on providing a safe, supportive place for clients.I draw from a perspective that emphasizes both the interpersonal/relational nature of therapy as well as the important role that culture plays in how we define ourselves and relate to one another. I find that this approach helps to facilitate a strong working alliance between myself and my clients and in doing so sets the ground for clients to begin to challenge existing patterns in their lives and experiment with making healthy changes in the way they relate to themselves and others.

You work so hard to become a professional and then Wham, out of nowhere you begin to experience anxiety or a feeling that maybe you don't know what you are doing after all. Your supervisor's communication feels like sandpaper and you get emotional without apparent reason. The work just doesn't feel like what you expected and you just feel out of sorts. You begin to realize you are using substances and some pretty unhealthy behavior just to cope. I mean it was fine in college but now it keeps you from feeling good. You need support from someone that gets it. You just need to get back on track.
