My Approach to Helping

I am a eclectic therapist who uses client centered, solutions and goal oriented. I seek to empower people to have healthy mind -body relationships where they are self aware and have a full range of resources to make independent choices.

My work is detailed in my two books, Combatting Cult Mind Control and Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves.
