Together, let's explore what is troubling you and discover the way to solutions, healing and making changes in your life. Our collaborative relationship will incorporate your strengths, proven therapeutic methods, and my 30 years of counseling experience. I use straightforward problem-solving strategies as well as mindfulness and creative techniques that reduce worry, frustration, confusion about your direction in life, and difficulties in your relationships. Recent research confirms the remarkable interconnection between our body, brain, mind and emotions. As I believe strongly in this mind-body interconnection, I often use it in counseling to create change so you can achieve your unique potential. Having lived on both East and West coasts and in Austin 18 years, I have a rich understanding of people from all walks of life. In addition to an M.A. from John F. Kennedy Univ. in California, I received a B.A. from Duke University including a year at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland.
