My Approach to Helping

I am a down to earth and warm interactive psychotherapist; life, money and career coach; and Core Energetics therapist. My approach is solution-focused work to give you support and feedback, and help you resolve both current problems and long-standing negative patterns. Together, we will explore your patterns to help you find your own unique solutions and coping strategies to a wide range of life challenges and issues (i.e., anxiety, depression, relationships, anger, money, addictions, career and life transition, grief, trust, sexuality, spirituality, physical health). I will help you build on your strengths, identify and achieve your goals to create your life into one that is more enriched and fulfilled.

To accelerate your process, I also offer body-centered psychotherapy using Core Energetics which can be integrated into your therapy. It allows you to work directly with your emotions to release the blocks that keep you feeling stuck so that you can fully express yourself, transforming your blocked energy and expanding your innate capacity to experience life from pleasure rather than pressure.

I believe that taking this courageous and positive step to explore your life is a healing process that restores energy and consciousness and promotes creativity, self-expression and personal integrity.

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

I have a couple of specialties, although I work with people in many different areas and stages of their lives. I specialize in helping people develop a healthy and balanced relationship with money, as well as making new career choices and life transitions. ~~~ In order to cultivate a new sense of financial health, together we will address your thinking and behavior with money, such as overspending, underearning, compulsive shopping, incurring debt or acting in an obsessive-compulsive manner. We will explore how you use money as a reflection of your beliefs, attitudes and self-perceptions, and how your misconceptions and self-imposed images lead to negative behavior patterns. You will learn how to make conscious and informed choices on a daily basis and acquire skills and practical strategies to transform self-defeating behavior patterns into positive energy. ~~~ When working with career and life transitions, we will explore what keeps you stuck in your job or life, the beliefs that keep you there and identify what really gets your creative and positive energy flowing. This is key to helping you connect to what your values are so that you live to your creative potential. This is done one step at a time.
