When life's challenges - work, relationships, money troubles, illness or injury become too much to manage, or when the pain of the past pops up when you least expect it to disrupt sleep, or when daily stressors build up and make it hard to cope, that's when more than a friendly ear is needed. That's when a professional can help you heal the compounding effects of life experiences. If you are seeking long-term relief from anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief or loss, I will help you heal those emotional injuries that compound over a lifetime and make life lose its meaning. And I will empower you to heal the emotional pain that is preventing you from living your best life.

The thought-provoking scenarios assist readers with developing healthier perspectives, and the skills and techniques in each chapter empower readers to heal through self-discovery, personal understanding, acceptance, and release.

Gestalt
I was initially trained in Rogerian theory which grew into Existential, then Gestalt. I have learned from and researched many modalities and find that the best treatment begins with what skills and techniques have proven most effective in my practice while attempting to modify treatment to fit patient need.
