Therapy

I help people heal from stressful life experience.  Identifying emotional triggers, breaking free to experience a new you.  A collaborative approach that naturally results in improved relationships - with yourself, your children, family and friends.  Some days or more often then not, you're feeling stressed.  Distractions become a way of life, way of getting through the day, pushing yourself to do more, work harder and that mound of stress just grows bigger.  Negative, intrusive thoughts loudly takeover.  Empower yourself through therapy.  Watch yourself grow stronger and lighter with a new appreciation for life.  It's time to say "yes" to you.  Let's explore current and past stressors, break down thought patterns.  


Therapy joins us together, giving you a hand in self-care.  

  • INDIVIDUAL THERAPY - Give yourself the time to explore individual therapy with a therapist who gets you, who understands that life can be tough.  
  • FAMILY SUPPORT - Maybe your child or teen is exhibiting emotional challenges, you're all bursting at the seams...we can explore this territory together.  It's beneficial for you to be included in your child's therapy, we can learn to better support each other.
  • ANY AGE THERAPY - No matter the age, we've all got  history, a history filled with times of sorrow, loss of a loved one, healing or healed from an illness, and caring for loved ones.   Exhaustion befriends you, holding on tight.  Ready to refocus and live your life?  Together we can weave a new path, a path that includes lightness and joy.

Emotional Freedom Technique-Tapping

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)/Tapping is an extraordinary approach that quickly  brings about healing current and past  traumas, both emotional and/or physical pain subsides.  Healing often occurs after just one session.  Envision that aching knot in your neck melting away. ALSO, it's fun, watch your stress dissolve through tapping sequences.  EFT explained.  





Parent Coaching


Strengthen relationships with your children/youth by building a stronger  connection and developing new ways to manage your child’s challenging ways.  Learn new and simple (yet powerful) tools that lead your family toward a closer relationship, filled with more happiness.  Therapy or coaching can provide this support.


"The problems many children have are actually generated by too much time spent in environments where they are expected to ’behave’."- Patti Wipfler


“The essential function of challenging behavior is to communicate to adults that a kid doesn’t possess the skills to handle certain demands in certain situations.”  -Ross W. Greene

PANDAS is more common then people are aware of and often goes misdiagnosed.  "It is believed that approximately one in 200 children are affected, according to PANDAS Network, a research nonprofit for the disease,” according to medicinenet.com

Trauma and Tapping

Information on PANDAS

Information on PANDAS

Tapping through past experiences, specific events or moments in time works to quickly bring about both emotional and physical healing.  EFT is an evidence-based approach toward healing.  It starts by telling snippets of your past experience, describing the scents or sounds and noticing a change in the emotional intensity associated with the past event.
