Counseling is using everything that I know and all that I have to help you discover and become the very best that you can be in all realms of your life. Counseling is letting go of seeking happiness and instead learning the process of allowing happiness to guide you in all endeavors ahead.

Who Is Counseling For?

Counseling is for those who are ready to uncover and utilize the potential in the multitude of resources that they already possess to create the life that they want. Using these mental, physical and spiritual resources along with all of the benefits of therapeutic interventions, education and new skills, counseling brings resolution to those who are tired of thinking or talking about their problems but instead are ready to solve them and move on to joyful living. Counseling can be an amazing process if you are open and willing to take on a whole new outlook and plan on how to go about being your true self.

What to Expect

Counseling with me may be a lot different than counseling experiences that you may have had in the past. Mainly because our work together will mostly be focused on your dilemmas, desires and experiences right now and how you want your life to look in the future. Our past shapes us, but does not define us. Change is available to everyone that wants it and believes it to be possible. Sometimes, harmful memories or unpleasant experiences may keep coming up and have you feeling hopeless or stuck. Our emotional brains hold on these alarming and scary moments and often interfere with progress. There are some amazing advances in neuropsychology that have allowed for new and successful counseling techniques that address exactly this issue. Together, we can not only uncover the scary meanings that have latched on to your experiences and hold you back, but actually reprocess these memories and store them differently in your brain so they don’t hurt you anymore. With individually tailored homework assignments, psycho-education including brain science and other proven therapeutic techniques, counseling can be unbelievably beneficial and the process quite fun.

Wanting to use your insurance?

Currently, I am not a provider for any insurance company. If you would like a receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, I can absolutely offer you this at the time of your visit. However, please know that this does not ensure reimbursement per se; that would depend on the out-of-network benefits and any deductible responsibilities that you have agreed to in your contract with them. This means that you will be responsible for the full payment at the time of your appointment with me.

If you would like more information on this topic, please refer to my Information for My Clients and Informed Consent document under the subheading of “Third Party Reimbursement Policies/Using Your Insurance” on the New Client Forms page.

If you cannot afford my services, please go here for a list of non-profit counseling centers that may be able to help.

Please know that you are not alone in these decisions. I am always happy to discuss if counseling is the right choice for you. Call me or email me anytime to discuss which services best fit your needs or any other questions that you may have for me.

The Truth

You are precious and wonderful just the way you are – Even though you’re all grown up, even though you’ve made mistakes, even though your thoughts aren’t always “good,” and even though (and especially because!) you’re not perfect. The truth is, YOU ARE PERFECT. Please let me help you become who you already are…A divine creation and creator. Together, we can work to find the balance and loveliness that comes in being who you want to be, doing what you want to do and living like the Rock Star that you truly are without stress, procrastination or excuses. You are an amazing power when you are living at the level of your utmost performance; healthy, productive and bringing your dreams to life. You deserve this!
