My passion is to be with people as they unfold more of who they really are. Whether the stimulus for counseling is emotional pain from relationship disturbances or childhood issues, physical pain from chronic illnesses or spiritual angst as part of deeper growth, I am with them as a coach and guide, helping them to ask different questions to get more satisfactory answers and directions. I believe that disturbances are signals that healing is trying to happen and when we cooperate with the process, we can transform our lives. I am truly a holistic counselor. My own unique experiences and education have made me especially atuned to the deeper spiritual issues often underlying our ordinary life challenges. I also have worked in association with the medical and chiropractic arts since 1990. For many years my practice has included those healing from environmental illnesses and their families. I have developed a one-of-a-kind way of working holistically with clients with MCS, EI, EMS (electromagnetic sensitivities) and autoimmune illnesses. This holistic approach is also dynamic with couples and individuals who prefer a Bigger Picture approach to growth challenges. My current focus is with clients who are wanting to expand their concept and experience of God/All That Is. I do not believe that the selection of a counselor should be limited by an list from an insurance company. I encourage potential clients to call me so we can interview each other to ascertain if we a good match for working together. I give all of my clients statements with all of the necessary insurance codes so they can file with their insurance companies for direct reimbursement to them according to their specific plan.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely understood, emotionally safe, and respected as the experits of their own lives. Many of the people I work with come in feelings overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or unsure wh y certain patterns keep repeating despite their best efforts. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you understand what is underneath, build safety in your nervous system, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels sustainable. I work with children, teens, adults, and caregivers navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, and neurodivergent experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and neurodiversity-affirming, meaning I prioritize consent, collaboration, and honoring each individual’s unique way of experiencing the world. I pay close attention to how stress and trauma live in the body. In sessions, I value honesty, curiosity, and authenticity, and I am not afraid to gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. Rather than relying heavily on homework, I focus on meaningful in-session experiences, reflection, and tools that actually fit into real life. Therapy is a collaborative process, and my goal is to help clients feel more connected to themselves, more regulated in their bodies, and more empowered in their lives.
