Personal Statement

I have over 25 years experience, and specialize in couples counseling; as well in helping with severe trauma, sexual addictions, nightmares, panic attacks, anxiety, Combat related PTSD, sexual abuse, and depression. I also work with Religious issues (fear of hell) related to religious abuse and psycho-sexual abuse. I have a strong background in cross cultural psychology, having lived and studied the nature of consciousness as a monastic for six years.

I struggled myself with early childhood trauma and was able to work through it with the help of others. For this reason, I never ask my clients to do something, i.e. use a method that I have not done or worked with myself. I strongly believe one must walk their talk and live in integrity to feel healthy. I have been blessed to have traveled and lived in many countries and to have had the opportunity to have studied cross cultural psychology experientially. My primary purpose for traveling in other countries was to study with various teachers about the nature of consciousness.

I believe that it is important to have compassion for all beings. All people struggle and suffer in different ways. Suffering might mean that you struggle with anxiety over your job, Suffering might mean watching too much pornography or having an affair. Suffering might mean that you have panic attacks, or cant get over the loss of a relationship or loved one. It might mean that you don’t know who you are, feel like you do not belong in the culture you live in, or do not feel heard and understood by others.
