As a therapist, I serve to educate,motivate, inspire and
    support the client in achieving their goals.  Clients gain
    support while working toward their desired outcome,
    without being labeled with a diagnoses.

    The client receives cranial sacral therapy which brings the
    nervous system into balance, releasing unresolved emotional
    issues from the tissues of the body.  While the body is unwinding, clients are gently guided through
    cognitive processing therapy, a practice to help clients notice their harmful thought patterns and
    the impact these thoughts have on their lives. Once they begin to examine their thoughts, typically
    rooted in fear, they begin to restructure old thought patterns to be self healing, motivating and
    loving.

    This approach is ideal for individuals willing to overcoming fear, recover from trauma or personal
    hardships and resolve the emotional component of their discomfort or illness.   Individuals are
    provided with take home practices including affirmations, ancient meditations and breathwork to
    integrate into their daily lives.

    Financial Counseling including, budgeting and credit counseling is also available.

    Duration of therapy is typically 6 to 12 weekly sessions to resolve a specific issue or goal set in the
    beginning of  therapy.  Clients have the option of resuming counseling if other life events or issues
    arise.

FEE FOR SERVICE:
    Each session $65 p/hr or $90 for 1.5hrs.  As a therapist I have chosen to have a cash based practice because I believe it is
    unethical to have to give someone a  diagnose in order to receive payment from the insurance company.  Insurance
    companies require a diagnosis in order to grant payment for care.  This diagnosis can follow clients over their lifetime
    and impact their ability to get insurance coverage in the future.  I also believe, that in most cases it is harmful to label
    oneself or others with a diagnosis.  Instead I work from a strengths based perspective that focuses on helping clients
    come back to their best self.
