Welcome! 

In our work together we will be uncovering your strengths to begin your healing journey. You are the expert on you and I am here to listen to you and be a guide to lead you back to wholeness. My education and years of experience working in the healing profession has taught me that  everyone has their own personal inner guidance.  My job as a healer who uses my education, experience and intuition is to assist you to tune back into your own inner guidance.   I use various techniques such as Internal Family Systems techniques, Mindfulness, Visualization,  Meditation and EMDR. I recently added Induced After Death Communication to my toolbox. If you have lost a loved one, this therapy may help you with your grief.

 We will discuss your current concerns as well examine the past in order to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep repeating themselves. The process of healing will be uncomfortable and takes time. Making changes in your life can be hard, but extremely rewarding. I cannot guarantee that my approach is the best fit for you, but I will work my hardest to ensure you are getting what you need from me.  If we are not a good fit I will do my best to provide you with a referral that is more suitable to your needs.

I am a Reiki Master. In addition to my psychotherapy practice I offer Reiki healing as well. Reiki is separate from my psychotherapy practice and is not covered under insurance. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that allows me to activate the natural healing process of your body with energy to restore emotional and physical well-being. See the Reiki tab on this site for more information. I do Reiki healings in person and I am also attuned to do distance healing sessions as well. 
                                                                                                                                       
I do take insurance, but I also accept self pay. I am on the following insurance panels: Aetna, Humana, and Cigna. I accept cash, checks, and credit cards as well as flexible spending accounts.
