Are you experiencing relationship problems that have you in so much emotional pain that you're finding it difficult to fulfill your daily responsibilities? If you're wondering how your life has taken such an unexpected turn, I can help. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I will help you navigate through difficult life transitions and regain your best sense of self. I have successfully met the p

Additionally, I provide LLPC supervision to Counselors wishing to obtain their LPC license.

Just because it feels different...doesn't mean you are doing it wrong.

Trust yourself and the changes you are making.

The main symptoms of depression are low energy, low sense of enjoyment, and high anxiety. There are 3 main causes of depression: 1.) Family history of depression 2.) Drug or alcohol abuse 3.) Feeling trapped in your life.

What is EFT

Have you ever heard of Emotion Focused Therapy? EFT is a practical technique that has enormous success with couples, and can facilitate change in marriages and relationships that exhibit a wide range of challenges. It has been found that 70 to 75 percent of couples effectively move from distress to recovery using EFT and approximately 90 percent of couples show significant improvement in their relationships. I am so very excited to incorporate EFT into my counseling practice and witness, firsthand, couples move from intense conflict to collaboration and emotional security.

The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) - located in Ottawa, Canada - is the home for research and training related to EFT - particularly for couple and family therapy.
