“Depth psychology understands that the goal of life is not happiness, which is only transiently possible anyhow, but meaning, which abides.”

You can and deserve to create the life you want.

In our weekly individual sessions, we will be addressing your short term goals and working towards long term goals (and I will teach you how to create goals that are challenging and doable!). My background in behaviorism will guide us to identify patterns of maladaptive behaviors and the reinforcers that are maintaining the behaviors. I will aide you in increasing wanted behaviors and decreasing unwanted behaviors.

As the behaviors change, the thoughts and emotions change. I work with you to restructure your thought patterns to find the balance between your emotion mind and logic mind with the ultimate goal to REDUCE SUFFERING.

I am passionate about this work and love helping people connect with their authenticity and life’s purpose. As serious as this work is, know that I help you balance the dark and the light. I want you to learn how to shine and expand as you grow and take up space. I want you to learn how to enjoy your life, welcome abundance, and find joy.

And good change is still change! It it scary and exciting and I can teach you to welcome it and thrive.

“Change is a slight goodbye to our past, our childhood, to our familiar roles, to our known selves.  To develop, to create is to live the future as opposed to cherishing the past. An unprocessed past will not allow us to move forward, it will hold us as the gatekeepers of our history. “
