I have a Ph.D. in both Clinical and Organizational Psychology and Development and I’m a Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist with 40+ years of experience. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, and businesses.There is no one size fits all for therapy. Every individual and situation is unique and, I will work with you to find what works best for you and your personal journey to emotional wellness. I focus on all aspects of a person: physical, emotional, mental, soul, and spirit as they are all interconnected and affect each other. There are a wide variety of reasons clients seek my services. Such as having psychotherapy for a particular personal problem they want to work on like anger issues or addiction, or for help with overcoming depression or anxiety, raising self-esteem, and gaining confidence. Some people wish to improve their marriages and families or fix particular issues within them by having marriage or couple …counseling. Some people or businesses see me for change and effective strategies to simultaneously increase both profit and health, and some people are looking for a motivational boost and to have more success in their careers via career and life coaching. Others want more self-growth, awakening, and enlightenment. Others want to reach their peak performance in sports and in all of life’s channels.
