YOU CAN FEEL BETTER with psychotherapy and EFT. My approach to your healing unites a wide range of traditional and nontraditional approaches to meet your needs. Do you have longstanding problems that you would like to finaly address? Is there a difficult or painful area in your life? Do you want to love more fully and live more creatively and joyfully? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, your commitment to personal growth and my unique style of holistic, body.mind therapy can provide you with the inner strentgh and skills necessary to make real change in your life. I specialize in Emotional Freedom Technique, which works with subtle energy by tapping on acupoints with focused affirmations. I also offer more traditional talk therapy. You can begin your journey of freedom from painful feelings, issues, negative emotions and effects of most traumas.
