- Are you happy with your life?
- Do you feel hopeless, helpless, scared?

You deserve to have a happy life!

- Meet life's challenges with resilience and confidence.
Life often doesn’t make sense or it isn’t as easy as we would like, it is often all we can do to get through the day. We don’t have to have major issues or problems before seeing a counselor, just talking and learning how to see your life from a different perspective often gives a sense of relief. The fact that we can make choices helps us feel in control and make a little sense out of our situation, our life. Therapy can be uplifting and encouraging, can allow us to see the joy in our lives.
As a professional counselor, I am committed to maintaining a safe, compassionate and caring healing atmosphere. I believe everybody deserves to have a happy life and I am confident all can. I believe that in a non-judgmental, confidential and comfortable place, we all have the potential for healing and happiness.
Do you struggle with:
- Saddness
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Fatigue – mental, emotional, spiritual or physical
- Traumatic events in your life, past or present
Are you looking to make changes in your life but you are not sure where to start?
Life can be hard. When our life seems to drag from one situation, one crisis to the next, it often becomes overwhelming. Most times we can deal with that, but there seem to be some things that just need to be spoken. I am willing to listen, to hear and to validate your story. Everybody has one and deserves to tell it.
Together we can help you find coping tools, gain insights and make positive lasting changes in your life. Whether you are looking to improve your mood and relationships, are struggling with a difficult situation, or are just looking for a safe and supportive place to talk, I can help.
3 key beliefs about people that influence my therapeutic approach:
- There is no such thing as a bad person.
- At any given moment, given the resources you have and what is going on in your life, you are doing your best.
- Given a choice people tell the truth.
These beliefs help me to maintain a positive focus and to be non-judgmental, if you are a good person, trying your best and being honest with yourself and the world, what more is needed.
I work with you to find your personal strengths and the resources needed to help you heal yourself. I experience satisfaction when individuals get that moment of clarity and realize they are in control. It is exciting to see clients become empowered as they realize that they have the power to heal themselves.
Our office is centrally located, and lunch hour and evening appointments are available.

Meridian or Energy Therapy
Meridian
therapy is an exciting new approach to healing used by therapists,
nurses, physicians, psychiatrists, counselors and lay people worldwide.
To date, using Energy Therapy has yielded exceptional results for
emotional and physiological problems. We have not encountered or heard
of any adverse side effects when the treatment suggestions and
protocols were followed.
Energy Therapy techniques produce
change by gaining access to the energy system of the body through the
complex network of meridians or channels that move our life force or qi
through our bodies. The discover Statement of Energy Therapy informs us
as follows: "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the
body's energy system." The theory states that once there is a build-up
of emotional or physiological distress, one of these pathways, or
meridians, becomes blocked and must be cleared, cleaned out,
strengthened, or aligned, in order for healing to occur.
This
system of meridians accessed in Energy Therapy was mapped out by the
Chinese over four thousand years ago and is the basis of all
acupuncture treatment. Imbalances in our energy system can be cleared
up and healed by stimulating points along these meridians, unblocking
congestion and evening out the energy flow. It does not matter whether
emotional or physiological stress impairs the perfect functioning of
these meridians; it only matters that these circuits of energy be
realigned.
Pioneers in the Energy Medicine field consider Energy
Therapy to be a form of "psychological acupuncture." While
acupuncturists use needles to facilitate movement of the life force
through the body, energy therapists use the fingers to tap or simply
hold the endpoints of these meridians. The stimulations of these
meridian points in combination with cognitive statements and emotional
focus, restores balance to the energy system, and allows the body and
mind to resume their potent, natural healing process.
