Great to meet you!

I have worked with private clients for 20 years and have also served for hospice patients and family, active military, addiction center participants and Family service center clients.

I have been a yoga teacher, licensed massage therapist and acupressure therapist for several years. I incorporate holistic methods of relaxation and meditation within my which treatment goals for my clients.

My approach to therapy

During the first session you will learn at least two techniques and strategies to release stress and reduce pain. I offer homework, reading material and handouts to enhance new techniques you will learn. Yoga, guided imagery, hypnotherapy as well as talk therapy promote coping skills to balance your mind, body and spirit.

What you can expect from me

I request accountability in promoting your treatment goals, hence you make progress more quickly. You will have several new ways to change how you see your life in a more optimistic way. Everything is a gift...and I can show you what has happened in you life is there for a reason and how to grow from it.
