Sometimes you need a good listener who won't judge you, who will really listen to understand, and not rush in to fix things. When you're going through a rough time, you need to be treated with care, respect and kindness. I tell new clients: "I am here to listen and understand, and when your ready to explore solutions just let me know." There have been many new, positive and effective innovations in the field of therapy.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. Life is beautiful and we try to make the best of it, but due to stresses and unexpected factors it becomes difficult to maintain a balance between ourselves and the people surrounding us. I believe in a holistic approach to treat the human mind. I provide psychotherapy services for adolescents and adults to address depression, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem issues, concern in personal and work relationships. I have specialized training in traumatic events like sexual assault, grief and chronic illness as well as anger management, conflict resolution, life coaching and problem solving.

As my reviews show, I am here to help and usually can! Using heightened intuition, meditation and counseling skills, my gift is seeing through and beneath appearances to the core of your Soul issues and conflicts and those of others. In just one session, we can quickly get to the "bottom line" and treat the sources of your problem/s. We will then discuss approaches to take in your life which will ease you onto a healthier path. We can develop your own inner spiritual compass to benefit yourself and your loved ones. "God helps those who help themselves" and "Seek and ye shall find!"

How can I help you? At face value, it's a simple question. However, it's one that can have profound meaning when you are experiencing hardship and confusion in your life. It offers the opportunity for you to enter into a therapeutic working relationship. One that provides the professional guidance and support needed to resolve the issues that are contributing to the problems at hand. It also provides you the opportunity to develop a deeper sensitivity, understanding, and acceptance of your true self. It's the first step forward, towards a change for the better and a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Please call 253-352-2480 or email me directly at inner.wellth@yahoo.com to schedule an intake or a free consultation for 15 minutes. It can be a scary thing to reach out for help and support! You might feel like there might be judgment or misunderstanding! Maybe you're puzzled as to why you haven't reached your goals, wondering what's holding you back? What are the barriers? I also offer EMDR and ART (accelerated resolution therapy) if we feel you're "stuck". Maybe you've never considered what you really want in life? Are you in a transition in life? I'd love to help you get to where you want to go!

It can be hard to know where to start. Sometimes dealing with life can be too painful and it is easy to feel that you are all on your own. This is especially true when it comes to relationship issues or with emotional pain. How many times do you keep trying the same things and end up with the same results? You don't need to go it alone. I am a therapist who loves working with individuals, couples, and families in helping them create lives they love and extraordinary relationships. Please call or email me and we can discuss your unique situation!
