The mind, body and spirit are intimately connected to how we asses our overall health and wellness. Most of us can agree that our own mental, physical and spiritual wellness is the single most important priority in our lives.

In today's fast paced world, many of us spend too much time and energy on areas of our lives that are draining and depleting and not nearly enough time on the areas of our lives that enrich and nourish our health, wellness and overall sense of joy. The good news is we all have the ability to adapt and change.

My psychotherapy practice includes a variety of modalities developed over 20 years of experience working with clients. It always begins and ends with our relationship.

As we explore and identify negative thoughts patterns/triggers, and learn how to replace them with positive healthy ones, my clients will resolve emotional, behavioral problems and disturbances thus enabling them to lead a happier and a more productive life. I apply evidenced based techniques, such as cognitive behavior therapy, (CBT), trauma focused CBT, Client Centered therapy, Solution Focused therapy, Motivational Interviewing modalities and Rational Emotive Behavior therapy. As with any powerful treatment, therapy includes risks and benefits. The main risk is that things may change in your life. This may seem obvious, but it is important to consider the discomfort that even positive change may cause in your lifestyle

We gain a large part of our worldview before turning 8 years old. This is when we think more black and white and take everything at face value, before the ability of abstract thought. How we understand the world at that point is based on our life experiences and the people around us. That worldview changes how we experience and perceive life thereafter. During sessions, you will explore how the past connects with present thinking. Using modalities such as CBT, narrative therapy, and rational emotive therapy, we can challenge the thoughts that negatively affect you, and rewrite ‘stories’ in your life with a new understanding of the situations, thus changing your perspective and how you feel.

I have the ability to keep track important details and help you move through our process faster. Our work pays dividends to you as you develop lifelong tools to: manage conflict, increase intimacy and pleasure, improve communication, lower stress, and reduce anxiety and depression.
