My Approach to Therapy

Do you need to be a priority in your own life? Counseling allows you to begin the healing process and practice good self care so that you can for and embrace others in your life. If you want something different in your life, try something different today. I am the clinical director of Holistic Behavioral Solutions; we have been practicing counselors for 20+ years and we love what we do, it restores our passion for life and allows us to transfer this passion to you. We believe that we need to use every tool available to us to help bring out the best you. The treatment modality is primarily HUMANISTIC in nature, we are non-judgmental and feel that our clients are doing their best with their current resources. Our therapeutic space is a place for you to heal and restore.

My Practice & Services

We are also actively hiring licensed clinicians that seek to work in diverse, just, and affirming practices. Please email us for more information. I We help CHANGE happen; families move to a place of harmony with greater connectedness and a sense of healing. Change requires experience and SUPPORT. Using a professional, highly rated counselor helps that change to happen today. Please visit our website to request an appointment at a time that works for you with one of seven therapists in our office.

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

I LOVE to work with women in transition, I find it fulfilling to reach down deep and remind you of how special and sacred you are and how to develop appropriate boundaries around that sense of worth. Most therapists come to this work to help others because someone helped them and we want to pass that strength and resilience along. I am fortunate to have learned from my life experiences and have a wide knowledge base from which to draw.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Psychotherapy helps us by validating our feelings and experiences and helping us to cope and grow in the present. We can acknowledge the pain from the past and find a sense of peace and hope for the future. A gifted therapist acts as a companion on this journey helping you to develop insight and improve judgement and focus in areas that are difficult for you.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

The purpose of Psychotherapy is to bring out the best YOU which is hidden inside.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I LOVE being a therapist because it allows me to spend most of my time on improving human relations in a sacred setting. I consider the therapeutic space to be sacred and our bond to be absolute. As a therapist I go with others on their voyage of self-discovery help them to be their best and most authentic self.

My Role as a Therapist

The right therapist brings training, education and skill in a combined effort to discern emotional blockages and work with you to remove those blockages causing harm or despair in your life.

Had a Negative Therapy Experience?

The therapeutic relationship is like finding a mate, it is a combination of chemistry, skill and experience. Therapy is supposed to help you and make you feel better, if one provider does not meet your needs, feel confident in sharing why with your new provider, this will deepen the therapeutic relationship and lead to open and honest communication.
