Welcome. Are you are part of a couple who is experiencing hurt, disappointment, anxiety and pain as a result of trying to talk to your partner about something that matters to you? Maybe it is the children, the in-laws, role division, finances. Whatever the topic, you don't seem to be able to get past your differences and get your partner to understand your perspective. Maybe you have even developed a repeated and negative cycle and feel disconnected and frustrated with your partner.

I see people for all kinds of everyday life problems including: life and work stress; depression; anxiety; phobias/fears; obsessive-compulsive disorder; bipolar disorder; marital/couples issues; divorce; behavior problems; parenting; ADHD/ADD; clinical hypnosis; stress and anger management; smoking cessation; habit control; employee asssistance; alcohol/drug evaluations; codependence; post traumatic stress; minorities; spiritual/faith issues: and grief/loss. I provide employee assistance services to employees after traumatizing experiences like bank robberies, job injuries or coworker deaths.

At Authentic Life Counseling, I utilize a variety of evidence based therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with individuals ages 14 and up to address general mental health concerns, with a special focus on culturally diverse populations and boys/men. In my experience, I have helped individuals tackle issues of masculinity, cultural identity, dual-culture relationships, while helping rediscover their purpose in life. It is my passion to help individuals gain an understanding and acceptance of themselves, using a culturally sensitive therapeutic approach.

Like so many of us, life has had some unexpected twists and turns. Whether you are grieving, sensing a growing distance with your spouse, having trouble taking care of your family, struggling to form meaningful relationships, recovering from a divorce or break up, unsure how to help your adult children, experiencing mood swings, struggling with work or school, relocating, struggling with pregnancy or learning that being a mom or dad is a lot harder than you imagined, I can help you feel less overwhelmed and more fulfilled. My goal is to help you feel better by providing direct, honest, respectful, and supportive feedback.

Life is beautiful and messy. Recovery is not linear. And healing takes more than just time. It is our experiences from birth to the present that have shaped us to be who we are. Therapy can help peel back those layers of experiences and allow us to better understand how our experiences affected us and learn how to move beyond the past and reshape our future. Perhaps past trauma prevents you from feeling safe and happy or relationship issues are crushing your spirit. Maybe recent loss has triggered pain that seems unbearable or life transitions are very overwhelming.

I have specialized in the healing of trauma for the last 31 years through individual, group, couples work. My expertise is EMDR. After 18 years of using this tool I am still amazed at how profoundly and quickly clients heal from tremendous pain and struggles. EMDR is often considered to be used only and primarily for a discreet trauma like a car accident. In fact, however, EMDR is a tool that incorporates how the brain processes information every night during REM sleep. Since our brains have REM daily, EMDR is a magnificient way to address most of life's problems.

My key therapeutic values are trust, empathy, honesty, non-judgmental environment, inherent strengths, and humor. I am a person-centered and empowerment-based counselor. I value your experiences and I approach the therapeutic relationship with the belief that you are an expert in your life's experiences. In sessions, we collaborate to enhance strengths and identify a way forward toward what you are seeking. I enjoy helping people achieve what they are striving for - relief, security, change, freedom, progress. Session time is YOUR time and I want to make sure you get out of each session what you need!
