"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Humans are complex beings composed of physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual systems that are always seeking allignment. Health and illness involve all of these systems, and when one is not balanced, it affects the other. Everyone deserves to find peace and balance in their lives. Individual counseling aids this process through techniques of self-exploration, creative expression, and personal awareness. Counseling provides the tools needed for individuals to find the happiness they seek by helping them understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The relationship between you and your counselor is the foundation upon which effective change takes place.
What sets my counseling practice apart from many others is that I specialize in incorporating specific techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), including mindfulness and relaxation. This is included in my therapeutic work with clients by exploring a deeper sense of the present moment. Together we determine your goals and work towards those goals.

"Your relaxation cd has proved to be a Godsend in my life in so many ways. Physically it helps me to fall right to sleep and even when I wake up it helps to lull me back to sleep again. Emotionally and Mentally it calms me down when I have gotten to the points lately of panic attacks. If not for you and your cd I would not have made it through these past 2 weeks as well as I did. I have also used the tapping method to help relieve my migraines. It released a lot of pressure and reduced pain by a great extent." - Kerry L.H., patient of Dr. Robert Echenberg
