Therapy doesn't have to be a daunting, drawn-out process. In just a few sessions, you can experience rejuvenation and gain newfound clarity, restoring a sense of comfort and well-being to your life.

All workshops and seminars focus on strengths-based approaches and incorporate post-modern principles with the basic premise that the person her/himself is the expert on her/his own life. Therapy is thus geared towards utilizing the resources, strengths and wisdom that the person brings to the therapist. Change comes from and through the person. The therapist's work is geared to elicit resources and responses that gently guide the person in the direction that they have chosen to move towards. Psychotherapy is a therapeutic enterprise that can be viewed as elicting resources to enter a spiritual process between the psyche and the mind.
"Each person is a unique individual. Hence, psychotherapy should be formulated to meet the uniqueness of the individual's needs, rather than tailoring the person to fit the Procrustean bed of a hypothetical theory of human behavior"

As the threads of the stories begin to unravel. the more enchanting and joyous you begin to feel. The CD contains therapeutic suggestions that are interspersed in stories whose content is far removed from any of your current concerns.
For centuries, indigenous populations have induced trance states during healing ceremonies. Everyone knows how to enter trance and many do so without being aware of it, such as during ecstatic dancing, a computer game, a favorite movie, etc.
Trance heightens various states of consciousness to activate inner healing processes. This heightened state results in deep relaxation, lessened anxiety, enhanced performance, lessened or eliminated pain and changed perspectives in an unobtrusive and gentle way.
“This CD is a remarkable mix of exceptional trance process, extraordinary music, and great transformational stories. I highly recommend it!” Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D. Author, “Therapeutic Trances” - USA
“To summarize, the stories, especially after listening to the preparation tracks, are highly effective. Whoever can remain relaxed will find success with this CD.”

“As a practicing licensed professional counselor, I often need to explain that life, not just therapy, is a process. I often need to explain that hearing the stories in my office does not bring me down, rather that I find all stories inspirational because I know that wellness and joy are right around the corner. My life as a psychotherapist has created a clientele in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the psychological worlds of inner and philosophical enquiry that most psychotherapists inhabit, the transformative world of music, poetry, and the arts, and the world of vocation, work and organizational leadership. As the founder of the Jung Wellness Institute I am dedicated to tapping into each person’s world view and talents to support their growth and development”.
I am a Graduate Student under Supervision working in collaboration with counselors at the Jung Wellness Institut. I am enrolled in a a Masters of Science Program with the focus in Systemic Psychotherapy. I am fluent in English and Germany languages and can provide services in both language.
My main interest and focus includes working with children and youth. I have gained tremendous insight and knowledge over the years working in professional and practicum settings. As a Graduate student I am also required to engage in personl work which has provided me insight into the life and work of a client.
I work from the belief that the human body and mind work together and constantly strive to find an inner peace and balance through self-healing. I see my role as a counselor to help you create insight and self-awareness, to facilitate the healing process, and to support you on your journey to finding your strengths and talents and guide you to joyful living. I utilize not only traditional talk therapy in my work with clients but also systems based therapy techniques and hypnosis.

Trained in Counseling Psychology and Life Coaching, I hold a Masters Degree and three Life Coaching Certificates and would like your journey in coaching to be specific and memorable. As a facilitator for change, I will be using cognitive education techniques designed to help you acquire different perspectives on your challenges, hurdles, or problems. Since life coaching is an accountability-based alliance that cores on the fulfillment of positively framed outcomes, its nature is educational and motivational. It is not counseling nor psychotherapy.
When working together, we will be using tools that will provide you with new perspectives through the process of forming, reaching and surpassing goals in both your personal and professional life. It is my intention to propel you into the future with renewed confidence and zest. My goal is to empower you to take over your life by looking at tangible options and using available choices.
I am looking forward to motivate and assist you on your journey into the future.

People have been entering hypnotic-type trances for thousands and thousands of years; various forms of meditation play an important role in many cultures' religions. But the scientific conception of hypnotism wasn't born until the late 1700s.
The father of modern hypnotism is Franz Mesmer, an Austrian physician. Mesmer believed hypnosis to be a mystical force flowing from the hypnotist into the subject (he called it "animal magnetism"). Although critics quickly dismissed the magical element of his theory, Mesmer's assumption, that the power behind hypnosis came from the hypnotist and was in some way inflicted upon the subject, took hold for some time. Hypnosis was originally known as mesmerism, after Mesmer, and we still use its derivative, "mesmerize," today.
It is a trance state characterized by focused attention, heightened awareness, deep relaxation and enhanced creativity. It's not really like sleep because the subject is alert the whole time. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a book or movie. You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around you. You focus intently on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought.
Numerous studies have compared the physical "body signs" of hypnotic subjects with those of unhypnotized people. Due to the relaxation involved in the hypnotism process in most of these studies,the subject's heart rate and respiration slowed down.
The most notable data comes from electroencephalographs (EEGs), measurements of the electrical activity of the brain. Extensive EEG research has demonstrated that brains produce different brain waves, rhythms of electrical voltage, depending on their mental state. Deep sleep has a different rhythm than dreaming, for example, and full alertness has a different rhythm than relaxation.
EEGs from subjects under hypnosis showed a boost in the lower frequency waves associated with dreaming and sleep, and a drop in the higher frequency waves associated with full wakefulness. Brain-wave information is not a definitive indicator of how the mind is operating, but this pattern does fit the hypothesis that the conscious mind backs off during hypnosis and the subconscious mind takes a more active role.
Family constellation (Familienaufstellung) was developed in Germany by Bert Hellinger who created a model that draws from traditions in family systems therapy, existential phenomenology, and the Zulu family traditions. When Hellinger studied the Zulu traditions he walked away with the essence of the following concepts that are deeply rooted in his work:
Bert Hellinger, who studied and treated families for more than 50 years, observed that many of us unconsciously take on destructive familial patterns of anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, aloneness, alcoholism and even illness as a way of "belonging" in our families. Bonded by a deep love, a child will often sacrifice his own best interests in a vain attempt to ease the suffering of a parent or other family member.
Hellinger coined the concept of “Orders of Love” in a systemic family sense, meaning that order in a family system must exist similar to the order experienced in nature. Order can be described as a natural pattern. One of the orders, for example, is that every member has a right to belong. If that order is respected harmony and love ensue. Negative consequences arise if the order is disrespected which may affect the family system for generations. Any trauma that is experienced in the family gets carried on to the next generations. Once a person accepts and understands and honors the order in the system, healing can take place.
During a constellation, the individual is invited by the facilitator to select representatives from the group to set up their family system/constellation. S/he then places these representatives in particular positions around the central working area. When complete, the individual converses with the facilitator and watches the process unfold. The aim for the representatives is to tune into the knowing field, much to what Einstein called the zero point field and Hellinger coined the knowing field. Facing and accepting everything the way it is, as it emerges, from the realm of observation and non-judgment, allows for insight into the true nature of reality and invites acceptance, and therefore, transformation.
Constellation work has to be experienced. One cannot learn or gain insights from reading it in books. Hellinger once said that “the spirit moves like wind.” He feels that whatever is written down loses its vitality, its basic connection to real life. Furthermore, it renders itself into fixed patterns and empty sentences and becomes oversimplified and generalized. He deeply feels that the world needs to be experienced as it is, as a lived, felt sense without any intention to change it. Developing a stance of acceptance and understanding is one of the core principles in his work.
While commonly practiced in group settings, Family Constellations can also be conducted one-on-one, providing a deeply personalized and focused approach to addressing specific issues within one's family system.
In individual sessions, the process typically involves:
Initial Assessment: The facilitator conducts an initial assessment session to understand the client's concerns, goals, and family dynamics.
Preparation: Before the session, the facilitator guides the client in exploring family history, identifying key family members or dynamics, and setting intentions.
Constellation Setup: Using objects or markers to represent family members and dynamics, the facilitator assists the client in setting up a visual representation of their family system.
Exploration and Dialogue: The facilitator guides the client through an exploration of family dynamics, uncovering underlying patterns, conflicts, and unresolved issues through dialogue and experiential techniques.
Resolution and Integration: Insights and resolutions emerge during the exploration process. The facilitator supports the client in integrating these insights, releasing energetic entanglements, and finding healing within the family system.
Integration and Follow-Up: After the session, the client may receive guidance on integrating insights into daily life. Follow-up sessions may be scheduled to support ongoing integration and personal growth.
Individual Family Constellations offer a personalized pathway to understanding, healing, and wholeness, addressing relationship issues, unresolved emotions, and facilitating personal growth. Explore further to learn how individual Family Constellations sessions can support your journey towards greater well-being.
Know that no matter what challenges you face within your life or family, healing is possible. With dedication, support, and the transformative power of Family Constellations, you can navigate through any difficulty and emerge stronger, wiser, and more whole. .

The human soul needs tender nourishment or it withers away. Asleep behind an impenetrable veil, the true essence of existence often hides behind boredom or related symptoms. While observing or participating in art or dance, playing or listening to music or experiencing some other form of artistic expression, the soul can surface momentarily but then retreats to hiding or silence once again. We often equate ourselves with our symptoms as indicated by the statements “I am depressed” or “I am miserable.” When individuals identify with depressive thoughts and feelings they strip themselves of their soul’s true meaning, of the value and joy of their existence. In an instant, self-worth and positive expectancy that change is possible slowly depletes. Yet, it is exactly that very ingredient of hope and positive expectancy that is highly needed in the process of creating lasting solutions. Therefore, it is calming and assuring to remember that our symptoms are not our identity, or our true self, but merely a sign that something deep inside of us is waking up. This awakening can aid a person in escaping from an existence that approximates a vacuum. A mundane life might not be a spiritually rewarding life for an artistic soul.
A marked characteristics of this awakening lies in the strong sensation that these symptoms bring into one’s life. The symptom forces an individual to take a look – a deep look – to awaken the senses. Welcoming rather than denying these sensations can be a primary step towards healing. During this welcoming state observing the symptoms and becoming aware of them is the primary task to enable the understanding of the true self. Just as there are many ways and techniques to play the song Amazing Grace there are also various techniques to relieve symptoms effectively.
One can devote time to meditate each day although the paramount essence lies in making your life a meditation beginning with simple steps that anyone can easily accomplish. Each day, starting in the morning, one can observe their senses during mundane, daily activities.
For instance, while playing feeling the guitar string on the fingertips as the finger presses down on the fret board, feeling the vibration of the instrument, hearing each tone clearly; while in the shower feeling the water trickle slowly down the body, noticing the temperature of the water; while eating paying full attention, chewing food slowly and isolating the taste of the food on the palate; noticing one’s feet on the ground, feeling one’s hands on the steering wheel, listen to all the surrounding sounds, and many more small acts of mindful awareness. Before going to sleep one can consciously bring to mind three things that have worked really well during the day or send gratitude to three people that one has encountered during the day.
The mindful cultivation of these small steps results in increased strengthening of the prefrontal cortex in your brain that adheres to higher order brain functions such as awareness, concentration, and decision making than the activation in the right frontal lobe that activates when a depressive thought is formed. As one begins to perceive the world in a new way novelty is created and novelty is necessary to grow more brain cells and to keep one’s mind healthy. An individual will start to become more mindful and live in the moment. Gentle, daily practice habituates the mind to create new neuronal pathways that make it easier to combat depressive thoughts in the future. Step by step the brain recognizes that there are a myriad of choices to react to stimuli and that the possibility exists to change the tuning at will.
One has to keep in mind that there are many pathways into depression, and at the same time, there are many pathways out of depression. What essentially works lies in the beauty of each individual. Therefore, taking one step at a time is important regardless what therapeutic intervention one chooses. Enlisting the help of a professional in the healing arts may be a first or a second step while keeping hope and positive expectation alive.

Anxiety, while often challenging, can also be viewed as a catalyst for growth and resilience. In the words of author and poet Rumi, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." This sentiment reminds us that through our struggles, we have the opportunity to discover our inner strength and emerge with a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Despite the complexities of anxiety, there is hope. With the right support, tools, and interventions, individuals can learn to navigate their anxiety, cultivate resilience, and embrace life with renewed vitality. At our practice, we are committed to providing compassionate care and empowering you on your journey towards healing and reclaiming your life from the grip of anxiety.
What is Anxiety?
Everyone has experienced anxious feelings and sensations before especially when we encounter stressful situations. Intense anxiety, on the contrary, can go along with intense fear, apprehension, or dread when faced with mundane everyday events. Anxiety, a common experience for many, can vary from fleeting moments of apprehension to overwhelming episodes of intense fear and worry. When anxiety escalates, it can manifest as panic attacks, accompanied by distressing physical symptoms such as unease, heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, and shaking.
Who has Anxiety?
This condition is prevalent in society, with anxiety disorders ranking among the most common mental health issues in the United States. Women are particularly susceptible, experiencing anxiety disorders at nearly twice the rate of men. Adolescents are not exempt either, as anxiety can affect individuals as young as 13 years old.
What Causes Anxiety?
Anxiety can also be triggered by specific situations or circumstances. For example, children with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) may experience anxiety as a symptom of their condition. Additionally, anxiety can arise naturally in response to sudden changes, illness, immune disorders, or shock, as the body's stress response system reacts to perceived threats.The core symptoms of anxiety often seem disproportionate to the actual situation, making it challenging to navigate daily life tasks like decision-making, work or school responsibilities, and maintaining social connections. Under intense levels of anxiety, individuals may suddenly experience panic attacks, further exacerbating their distress.
Anxiety can also be influenced by broader factors, including generational patterns and family dynamics. In some cases, anxiety may be passed down through generations as part of family constellations, where unresolved issues and traumas from previous generations manifest in the present. Understanding these intergenerational patterns can be crucial in addressing and healing anxiety within families.
The causes of anxiety are multifaceted, stemming from a complex interplay of psychosocial factors, such as childhood adversity, stress, or trauma, combined with genetic predispositions that lead to neurobiological and neuropsychological dysfunctions. Biological factors like genetics, hormonal imbalances, head injuries, substance abuse, and medication side effects can also contribute to anxiety.
Treatment
Treatment for anxiety encompasses various approaches tailored to individual needs. Psychotherapy, including psychoeducation about the physiological aspects of anxiety and available treatment options, provides a foundation for understanding and regulating symptoms. Therapeutic interventions focus on equipping individuals with tools to regulate emotions and restore inner balance. In some cases, medication may be prescribed in conjunction with psychotherapy to alleviate symptoms.
Hypnosis has emerged as a highly effective adjunctive therapy for anxiety regulation, offering a unique pathway to accessing and transforming subconscious patterns contributing to anxiety. Moreover, integrating regular exercise, mindfulness practices, yoga, meditation, biofeedback, acupuncture, osteopathy, or homeopathy into treatment plans can further enhance overall well-being and resilience.
At our practice, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive care to support individuals on their journey towards healing and reclaiming their lives from the grip of anxiety. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience and embrace life with renewed vitality. Whether it's anxiety related to daily stressors, specific triggers like air travel, or deeply ingrained family patterns, we're here to help you navigate your journey towards inner peace and emotional well-being.

Dreaming in Silence: Navigating Sleep, Dreams, and Hypnosis
In the quiet spaces between wakefulness and dreams, lies the realm of sleep—a sanctuary for rejuvenation and renewal. Yet, many wanderers find themselves adrift in the depths of poor sleep quality and restless nights. Traditional solutions, though well-intentioned, sometimes fall short, leaving behind shadows of side effects and incomplete relief. Yet, amidst the twilight, whispers of hypnosis suggest a gentle path toward restoring the harmony of sleep. In this exploration, we traverse the challenges of sleep's elusiveness, wander through the landscapes of common sleep disturbances, and uncover the quiet promise of hypnosis as a guiding light toward better sleep.
In the silent spaces of the night, poor sleep quality casts its shadow, affecting our physical vigor, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. It robs us of vitality, leaving us weary and drained. Chronic sleep troubles weave a tangled web, impairing our memory and clouding our thoughts, urging us to confront the disruption that lurks within.
Within the labyrinth of sleep, various specters haunt our nights—insomnia's relentless pursuit, apnea's stifled breath, narcolepsy's sudden embrace, and restless legs' ceaseless unrest. These nocturnal phantoms, with their distinct forms and unsettling echoes, converge upon a shared ground of disrupting our sleep's delicate balance, leaving us restless and yearning for peace.
Amidst the whispers of nightfall, hypnosis emerges as a silent guide, offering a pathway toward relaxation and tranquility. Through its gentle touch, it soothes our restless minds and unveils the hidden depths of our psyche, offering respite to the weary traveler and leading us toward the sanctuary of sleep. Hope emerge as research studies illuminate the potential of hypnosis to improve sleep quality. Participants, adorned with newfound satisfaction and ease, embark on a journey toward improved sleep, guided by the gentle embrace of hypnosis' touch.
As we stand at the threshold of discovery, the quest for better sleep beckons us forward. Through further exploration and integration of ancient wisdom with modern science, we chart a course toward a brighter dawn—a world where hypnosis illuminates the path toward restful slumber and vibrant well-being.
In the stillness of the night, sleep disorders cast their shadow upon our restless minds. Yet, amidst the darkness, hypnosis emerges as a beacon of hope—a silent guide leading us toward the shores of tranquility. Through relaxation, stress reduction, and the exploration of our innermost selves, hypnosis offers a gentle pathway toward better sleep and renewed vitality. As we journey through the night, invite yourself to embrace the quiet promise of mindfulness and hypnosis, weaving dreams of peaceful slumber into the fabric of our lives.
Living with chronic conditions often entails managing persistent symptoms, including pain, discomfort, and distress. While traditional medical treatments play a crucial role in managing chronic conditions, complementary approaches like hypnosis offer additional avenues for relief and improved quality of life.
Hypnosis provides a promising approach to pain regulation within the context of chronic conditions. By inducing a deeply relaxed state, hypnosis enables individuals to access their subconscious mind, where they can effectively modulate their perception of pain and promote pain relief.
One of the primary mechanisms by which hypnosis regulates pain is through altering the individual's perception of pain sensations. Through guided imagery, visualization, and suggestion, individuals can learn to focus their attention away from the sensation of pain and towards feelings of relaxation, comfort, or even numbness, thereby diminishing the intensity of pain experienced.
Moreover, hypnosis can influence the brain's perception and processing of pain signals, leading to changes in neural activity and pain perception. Research has shown that hypnosis can modulate brain regions associated with pain processing, resulting in reduced pain perception and increased pain tolerance.
Additionally, hypnosis can promote the release of endogenous opioids and other neurotransmitters involved in pain modulation. These natural pain-relieving substances help alleviate pain and induce feelings of well-being and relaxation.
By integrating hypnosis into a comprehensive treatment plan for chronic conditions, individuals can experience enhanced pain management, reduced reliance on medication, and improved overall functioning. Working with a qualified hypnotherapist, individuals can learn valuable techniques and strategies to regulate pain, enhance their quality of life, and reclaim control over their well-being.
If you're living with a chronic condition and experiencing persistent symptoms like pain, consider exploring hypnosis as a complementary approach to pain management. Embrace the power of hypnosis to transform your relationship with pain and embark on a journey towards greater comfort, resilience, and vitality.
Empowering Change: Integrative Approaches to Habit Control
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on habit control, where we explore the powerful combination of hypnosis, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), and goal-setting strategies to help you reclaim control over your habits and lead a more fulfilling life. At [Your Therapy Practice Name], we believe in empowering individuals to break free from destructive habits and cultivate positive behavioral patterns through a holistic approach that addresses the min, body, and spirit.
Understanding Habit Control:
Habits are deeply ingrained behaviors that we often perform automatically, sometimes without even realizing it. While some habits are beneficial, others can be detrimental to our well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, and a sense of loss of control. Habit control involves identifying these patterns, understanding their triggers, and implementing strategies to modify or replace them with healthier alternatives.
The Integrative Approach:
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that accesses the subconscious mind, where many habits originate. By guiding individuals into a state of deep relaxation, hypnosis can help uncover underlying beliefs and motivations driving the habit, while also suggesting positive changes. Through personalized hypnotherapy sessions, individuals can reprogram their subconscious mind to support their desired behavioral changes.
Mindfulness: Mindfulness practices involve cultivating present-moment awareness without judgment. By bringing attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, mindfulness helps individuals become more conscious of their habits and the triggers that precede them. Through mindfulness meditation and techniques, individuals can develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation, enabling them to respond to triggers with intention rather than reacting impulsively.
Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT): CBT is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. By recognizing the connections between thoughts, emotions, and actions, individuals can learn to interrupt automatic habits and replace them with healthier responses. Through structured exercises and homework assignments, CBT empowers individuals to develop new coping strategies and problem-solving skills.
Goal-Setting: Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals is essential for habit control. By clarifying what they want to achieve and breaking it down into manageable steps, individuals can track their progress and stay motivated. Regularly reviewing and adjusting goals ensures continued growth and adaptation as individuals work towards lasting behavioral change.
We understand that overcoming habits can feel overwhelming at times. However, we believe that with the right support and guidance, positive change is not only possible but achievable. Our integrative approach to habit control combines evidence-based techniques with compassionate support, empowering individuals to break free from destructive habits and embrace healthier, more fulfilling lives.
When you're ready to take control of your habits and create lasting change, we're here to support you every step of the way. Contact us to learn more about our personalized habit control programs and start your journey towards a happier, healthier you. Remember, change is within reach, and together, we can make it happen.
Anita Jung, is the founder of the Jung Wellness Institute and an internationally acclaimed lecturer, trainer, and business consultant. Anita holds a degree in Counseling Psychology, has traveled extensively and is well versed in cultural implications of leaving one’s homeland and family. She brings her wealth of experience to her psychotherapy sessions, audio recordings, lectures, consultations, and workshops.
Originally from Europe, she resides in the United States. She is a proponent for innovative, transformative care combining traditional and non-traditional mind-body approaches. Her work in community collaborations is extensive and taps into the world of the arts to inspire change and sustain a healthy state of living. Her creativity spans from her work with her clients to creating and publishing several musical, hypnotherapeutic CDS.
Anita specializes in mind-body approaches, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, Family therapy, and Brief Therapy approaches. She began her career studying Bioenergetics Analysis with Alexander Lowen and post-modern approaches to counseling with Insoo Kim Berg and Michael White until she became inspired by Milton H. Erickson approaches. Her teachers include Stephen Gilligan, Jeffrey Zeig and Bill O'Hanlon amongst many other European mentors. Anita is known internationally for incorporating music as a tool in hypnotic work, not to be defined as music therapy, yet, rather as an active co-therapist in the utilization of hypnosis and other therapeutic approaches.
Anita served as the Division Director for Counseling and Psychiatric Services at a prominent local non-profit organization for twenty years. She has developed, transformed, and implemented various therapeutic/behavioral health programs such as youth and adult counseling, psychiatric services, supervised visitation programs for families, family violence intervention groups, and combining counseling with drumming or aerial dance.

“As a practicing licensed professional counselor, I often need to explain that life, not just therapy, is a process. I often need to explain that hearing the stories in my office does not bring me down, rather that I find all stories inspirational because I know that wellness and joy are right around the corner. My life as a psychotherapist has created a clientele in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the psychological worlds of inner and philosophical enquiry that most psychotherapists inhabit, the transformative world of music, poetry, and the arts, and the world of vocation, work and organizational leadership. As the founder of the Jung Wellness Institute I am dedicated to tapping into each person’s world view and talents to support their growth and development”.
I am a Graduate Student under Supervision working in collaboration with counselors at the Jung Wellness Institut. I am enrolled in a a Masters of Science Program with the focus in Systemic Psychotherapy. I am fluent in English and Germany languages and can provide services in both language.
My main interest and focus includes working with children and youth. I have gained tremendous insight and knowledge over the years working in professional and practicum settings. As a Graduate student I am also required to engage in personl work which has provided me insight into the life and work of a client.
I work from the belief that the human body and mind work together and constantly strive to find an inner peace and balance through self-healing. I see my role as a counselor to help you create insight and self-awareness, to facilitate the healing process, and to support you on your journey to finding your strengths and talents and guide you to joyful living. I utilize not only traditional talk therapy in my work with clients but also systems based therapy techniques and hypnosis.
Adult and adolescence individual therapy addresses the following challenges through interpersonal therapy and body-mind techniques:
