Stress and Change are inevitable in all of our lives. It can make life very challenging from time to time and we may need extra support for change. I believe it is important to create a safe and supportive environment for clients to process and experience life issues. This provides a setting where a person may self-explore in order to access their personal history and to recognize how it affects their current relationships and behaviors. It also allows the individual to get in touch with and experience their true, authentic self, which can bring great fulfillment and joy in ones life. My work is client-centered and interactive. This is your time and we will work in those areas that are most immediate and important to you. I will provide feedback and support by offering alternative ideas and approaches to address your life issues. Past successes and personal strengths will be strengthened to create a strong internal foundation. If there are childhood traumatic issues, such as neglect or abuse, this foundation will allow the processing and release of the traumas. My treatment approach is holistic. I utilize a variety of techniques such as systems theory, cognitive-behavioral, somatic work, family-of-origin, Lifespan Integration, experiential and spiritual work. Difficulty can be caused by many reasons; such as challenges with relationships, past or present traumas, chronic diseases/pain, loss of a relationship, a loved one, your career or a change in your overall health.
