Book 15-Minute FREE Consultation!

Welcome to WiseMind Counseling

You are probably here because either you or someone you love is suffering from some mental health or behavioral issue. You are at the right place. Just the act of ‘looking’ is setting the intention of moving towards health. It is the first and most important step towards helping yourself to a better future.

Most people come to therapy because they are in some way disconnected from their true, authentic selves. Many have been disconnected since childhood; others from more recent experiences. In order to feel good about ourselves, and our place in the world, we need to reconnect with our authentic selves,

our WiseMinds.

My Therapeutic Approach

Therapy is a collaborative process. Scientific evidence suggests that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. Therefore I offer a  free 15 minute phone consultation to make sure that you feel comfortable with me, and I that I am the right therapist for you.

In building a safe and supportive relationship, I offer a non-judgmental space where behaviors, thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear of being judged or shamed. Developing an awareness of your strengths and your emotional resources will alter unhealthy patterns, and increase feelings of self-worth and self acceptance. As a result you will learn new ways to approach problems, by viewing them through a new, healthier and more authentic lens.

It would be an honor to help guide you there.

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy is Designed to Enhance Your Understanding of Your Own Thoughts and Behaviors, Leading to Improved Functioning and Greater Well-Being.

Addiction is a complex and chronic mental health disorder/disease that affects individuals from all walks of life. I use multiple techniques and modalities that offer help and support for those wanting better accountability and reinforcement through their early sobriety.

C-PTSD

C-PTSD is characterized by emotional dysregulation, reactivity, and pervasive lifelong issues with interpersonal relationships, and
feeling of loneliness.
