My Approach to Helping

I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, an MA in Counseling Psychology, an MS in Secondary Ed/Business, & a BS in Fash Merch/Sciences. Please feel free to check my license and credentials. I was always led to the power of the mind and the cause & effect of family & other relationships on mental health. The ability to actually be present at every moment, with every word a client relates, is a true gift. Psychology is my true calling, my gift, and my passion. I prefer Psychodynamic Therapy, as this gets quickly to the underlying cause, the real issue(s), blocking us from living in our full potential-living in happiness, with healthy relationships. Everyone needs to briefly uncover repressed, or hidden perceptions from our past, and recognize how these memories block us from living a balanced life in the present. We then need to "learn" how to rid our mind and our body of the "need" to hold on to old, unhealthy patterns. I am excited about, and positive with, every client I have the privilege of seeing. I can see the potential for true "health" in every individual.

More Info About My Practice

I also work with an excellent holistic counselor (Ally Tracy, MA), who specializes in intuitive, holistic counseling, life coaching, chakra balancing and creative arts therapy-should you require or request such counseling.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I have years of experience with a Harvard research based program teaching Problem Drinkers to drink in moderation. Hypnosis, to get to core issues quickly, is another tool I value for clients.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Talking to an impartial person, who has no judgment or motive, but just wants to listen to you, can be a key to your living the life you were meant to live. Everyone needs to realize their core negative "talk" and issues, the real triggers to their present problems and unhappiness. The truth that our childhood beliefs still have control of our present lives, and the unloading and evaporation of these unhealthy beliefs can "set us free" to be who we were always meant to be. Psychotherapy clears the cobwebs and gives us the clear vision to proceed in life, without baggage.
