I have a diverse background in work and education, 20 years in the business world and the past 25 teaching in higher education and counseling others. My educational background mixed secular and faith based, with graduate degrees in political science, psychology and education, and four undergrad degrees in business and counseling. I am also a published author of Christian books and recovery.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

At the first session I will listen to what you want to accomplish, what particular problems or goals you have, or if you are just trying to reach a higher ground. Also, a history about your past will be done and then we can decide if we want to move further and develop a treatment plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am well versed in past trauma, hold a specialty license in substance use disorder, and trained in integration therapy for use with psychedelics, currently working with Ketamine for PTSD and depression. I am also well versed in various cultures & religions, specifically Italian-American Catholic culture.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am well versed in cognitive-behavioral therapies especially for substance use disorder. If the client is younger and not so knowledgable I stay with basic cognitive-behavioral skills.

Existential

If my client is older and/or seasoned about their problem I move into existential issues, with the focus often on "meaning or purpose in life".

Faith based therapy

I was raised Catholic and never really left. However I have opened myself up to learn about all the world religions and over the past decade have concluded that the Godhead is consciousness itself. That does not mean that I have turned my back on Jesus Christ. I still most deeply follow the Christian philosophy, meditations, and will still attend Catholic masses. I view religion as a "man made social institution" and spirituality as "my relationship with God".

Jungian

In general I tend toward psychoanalytic, seeking the unconscious and facing the shadow in talk therapy. I follow Jung and strongly believe in the collective consciousness/unconsciousness (Akashic Record) and will work with some of the metaphysical alternative methods such as energy, EMDR, tarot, hypnosis, as long as I feel the patient is prepared to do so.

Transpersonal

I especially enjoy working with specialty or challenging clients who have paranormal events, extra sensitivities and/or are trying to ascend to a higher dimension of reality. I am trained in integration therapy for use with psychedelics and work with ketamine now so I can work with psychedelic experiences or non-ordinary states of consciousness.
