I believe you are reading this now because you are at an important turning point in your life, your marriage, and your relationship.

How many times have you thought about making a change, getting some help, finding someone who will listen without judgment?  Have you been frustrated in the past with therapy that is long on talk and short on practical tools that you can apply to really resolving your challenges?  You will not find this in our work together.  It will be action oriented and include homework to reinforce the work we do in our sessions together.

The decision to seek counseling, therapy, or life coaching as an individual, couple or family can absolutely change your life. It is my honor to have the opportunity to listen as you share the experience of your life and we will work together to determine what is working well and you should continue, what may need to be examined and adjusted, and what may need to be discarded.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents individually, as part of a couple, family, or group.  My work is centered in 3 area:  Life Coaching,  Couple’s and Family Therapy, and EFT.  In my work with Couples and Families I focus on repairing connection, improving communication, and reigniting passion.  As a Life Coach I partner with my clients to transform their lives through values clarification, identifying self-limiting beliefs, goal structuring, and accountability.  The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an emotional, needle free version of acupuncture that is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between your body's subtle energies, your emotions, and your health. EFT has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health and performance issues. It often works where nothing else will.

Couples and Families seek counseling for wide range of reasons, but here is a list of warning signs that your relationship

My Couple’s Therapy helps to build the skills that will keep you in connection for a lifetime. I have a structured method of working with couples that involves Myers-Briggs personality assessments, communication exercises, and looking more deeply at the "dialogues" that occur between partners and how these are related to issues of disconnection in the basic emotional attachment that is essential for safety in a love relationship. One example of this would be looking closely at what is really happening when one of you pushes and prods and the other shuts down and gives up -- we will find a solution that you can carry with you and apply through your lifetime together-facing life's challenges shoulder to shoulder as a team.  If have had couple’s therapy in the past where the counselor allowed fighting during the session and did not teach you how to communicate effectively about difficult and heated emotional issues this will be very different.

I also enjoy working with parents and teenagers to negotiate their relationship during these often challenging years.  My experience in this area is both professional and personal.  

Life Coaching is another branch of my practice. I work with individuals who consider themselves emotionally healthy but may feel they are not achieving their full potential. We work together to identify passion, purpose, and to uncover self-limiting beliefs that may be preventing the achievement of the exceptional levels they are capable of. Another important aspect of life coaching is having a "thought partner", someone to help you say aloud and make concrete those ideas and dreams that go around in your head but never seem to become a reality. Finally, accountability-a life coach is someone to hold you accountable to the goals YOU set and help you stay on track.

I have over 75 hours of postgraduate training from the College of Executive Coaching

the leader in training Personal and Executive coaches with Graduate degrees. Beware when talking to coaches, many have no advance education because at this time, there is no certification required to call yourself a "coach".

I am so excited to offer EFT-Emotional Freedom Technique .   For years I was frustrated with not having a therapy tool I felt was truly effective in resolving my clients’ anxiety, depression, pain, fears and phobias, sleep challenges and more.  EFT is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:

1. Mind Body Medicine
2. Acupuncture (without needles).

In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). Properly done, this frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.  Best of all, I teach you how to do EFT yourself and once you know the technique you can apply it on your own to life challenges as they come up.

My goal as your Mental Health Counselor; Couple’s, Marriage or Family Therapist; or Life Coach is for you to learn to “self-manage” so that ultimately your need for my service no longer exists and you are left with a toolkit of resources. My clients are challenged with homework and reading assignments tailored to their particular issues.
