My specialty is Autonomic Healing Activation (AHA) and Relationship Therapy. AHA is a brain exercise that activates your brain to normalize stress for the mind, body, and spirit. If you don't believe in a spirit, you can focus on mind and body activation. Neurobiologically, the brain produces a way for you to heal, persevere, and grow by managing physical and/or emotional pain. Yes, this approach also works for physical illness and chronic pain. After I teach you, you can practice AHA on your own every day if you wish.

Many will enter therapy thinking, “What have I been doing wrong to get here?” I meet clients and think, “What have you been doing right to make it this far?” Yes, I think a bit backwards, but it’s what allows me to find innovative ways to help clients move forward using their strengths. Individuals, couples, and families who have previously felt stuck in complex issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, adoption, parenting, and relationships report finding relief through embracing their strengths and being reassured that their experience is valid. This helps tap into their innate ability to heal and renew balance.

My counseling approach utilizes systems theory to identify problems within the context of the system where they began.. Instead of seeing problems residing within the individual, I look at how the entire system contributes to the problem formation. The system generates the problem and the two are maintained by each other, and behavior is understood in the context of its' environment. Together in a caring and respectful environment, we will discover together your goal for the best version of your future going forward. Life coaching is an integral aspect of my treatment protocol.
