How Therapy Works

Are you in a troubled relationship where it's hard to see your way forward? Dealing with life changing circumstances that seem to be turning your world upside-down? Feeling challenged, stressed and emotionally overwhelmed or out of control?

The good news is, you really can feel better and I can help. I counsel, teach and support individuals, couples and families toward higher levels of mental, emotional and spiritual maturity.

I specialize in relationship and marriage issues as well as the frustration, anger, stress, depression, and anxiety that often accompany them. I will help you gain the "The Three C's": Clarity, Confidence and Courage you need to create the changes you want in your life. You'll find me straightforward, supportive, encouraging, and relaxed.

I bring to therapy many years of education and training. I have a Masters and Ph.D. in Psychology, a Doctorate in Naturopathy and accreditations as a Nutritionist, Herbalist, Hypnotherapist, and Registered Addiction Specialist. I have authored numerous publications, including the books Healing & Wholeness Complementary and Alternative Therapies for Mental Health and Fasting: An Exceptional Human Experience.

My experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist ensures an important level of professionalism; but it has been living out the roles as friend, spouse, mother, and businessman with nearly 60 years of life experience that adds depth to the therapeutic relationship. That's how therapy works.
