While counseling is helpful in some situations, psychotherapy is at times needed to make larger, more permanent changes. Psychotherapy digs into your life story, what you have gone through, what has affected you, and what has caused how you think of yourself and how you fit into the world. In our work together, you will learn forgiveness for yourself and others and how to reparent yourself in the areas you need in order to have a happier, fuller and more meaningful life.

My approach is eclectic, taking what is effective from various approaches of psychology to help the client to heal. My approah is candid and direct which often helps cutting through dysfunction. Dysfunction stops the flow of love between individuals; to be functional again means restoring a relationship back to what it's main purpose was in the first place - to love, support and to to embrace so growth can occur. Therapy doesn't begin until an individual takes responsibility for what they may be doing that is unhealthy without blaming shifting. Discovering what is co-dependency may also be an excellent tool. I also help client to learn about Old Brain/ New Brain concepts.

I use a variety of modalities inluding talk therapy, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, journaling, etc. and work collaboratively with my clients to develop a treatment plan that facilitates you reaching the goals you want to reach.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. As a professional counselor, I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic relationship that provides clients the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. Psychotherapy empowers clients to gain healthy coping skills, experience self care and process new ways to work through personal difficulties. It is possible to heal, gain a sense of well-being, restore hope, and rekindle happiness even during the most challenging times.

Psychotherapy is just a fancy word for the process of healing that goes on in a Counseling office. When clients come to my office, I show hospitality and offer something to drink. We have soft music playing and just begin to talk about the areas of interest that have brought them in. From that first session, I determine what is wrong and what needs to happen in order to facilitate the change my clients are hoping for. As a matter of fact, I write out two goals for each client from what they've talked about, each with 3 or 4 objectives to reach those goals! I guide you and hold you accountable as needed until you reach these goals. Come on in and let me help you do the same!!!

Many forms of therapy exist, some easily understood, for example, physical therapy, and some, more complex and misunderstood, such as psychotherapy. Physical therapy is understood as a therapist introducing bodily knowledge and new ways of positioning and strengthening the body through exercises and stretches, in order to ameliorate physical pain and distress. In truth, psychotherapy is not different, though instead of the material world of body, psychotherapy works with the abstract world of mind. I practice psychotherapy by introducing psychological knowledge and new ways of positioning and strengthening one's thoughts and feelings in order to ameliorate emotional pain and distress.

Many compare our emotions and/or history to an onion that needs to be peeled away layer by layer. There's some merit to that, and both involve tears at times. Fortunately, for people who delve in to gain a deeper understanding of how they've gotten to where they are, eventually the tears fade away and the new understanding and insights lead to a more satisfying life.
