Individual Counseling

The Gift

By participating in individual psychotherapy, you give yourself the gift of focused, caring attention. There is something intrinsically healing about talking to someone, who is there to be with you, listen to you, and see you, while you express what has been disturbing.

In this realm of safety and gentleness you will find yourself listening more deeply and carefully to yourself. In this space of listening you will come to know yourself in a more intimate, caring and supportive way.

I don’t see you as broken, therefore you don’t need to be fixed. Instead I offer a safe place for you be curious about how you get stuck, how your heart has closed, and to discover your inner strength, wisdom and power so you can become the person you want to be and find genuine happiness and freedom. You will learn to embrace who you are as a spiritual essence and live from the integrity of your heart.

There is no such thing as a wrong turn

for every step gets you to here.

Helping People Just Like You

For more than twenty five years I have been helping people, just like you, resolve problems and achieve happiness. I’m not interested in you having a well-analyzed problem. I’m interested in you living as the being you really are.

I will reflect back to you what you need to learn so you can find your own direction. My intention is to create a safe space where you can learn to listen to the true you, and to assist you in living from authenticity and genuine strength.

I use a wide array of therapeutic skills, including hypnosis, in order to reduce stress, increase relaxation, and quickly improve physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.

In our work together, you will discover that difficulties and obstacles in life are often blessings for in reality we grow through adversity. We will embark upon a deep and honest exploration of how you hold yourself back from living fully and happily. This process of growth liberates energy bound in unresolved issues, so that you are freed to be your most authentic self.

This is a journey of awakening and discovery as conditioned patterns of adaptation and survival fall away to reveal the truth of who you are as you learn to expand your capacity to give and receive love.

The Gift of Giving

All human beings need to make a positive difference and a contribution to other and one of the outcomes of successful therapy is the ability to give yourself fully from the place of your gifts and talents.

Allow yourself to thrive

and offer your gifts fully.
