About Me.

As a young therapist supervised by highly educated psychologists and psychiatrists, I felt strongly compelled to break away from the "fraternity" in search of better answers for my clients. Why? Because some doctors' explanations of "mental illness" didn't seem to be telling the whole story...and because their patients--my clients--were not getting as well as I believed they could. Since then, this decades-long journey guided by brilliant mentors and independent thinkers has turned up some promising findings and fantastic results. There is more hope for your recovery from symptoms of mood, anxiety, grief, trauma and dissociation than you ever could have imagined. There is no place I'd rather be than right here and now, ready to help you. How far do you want to take your recovery?
