Here’s the tea… Sessions run about 45-50 minutes. During the first session, the intake or initial assessment may take a little longer and is like playing “20 Questions” and “What Would You Rather”. This is the time I gather information to get a snapshot of your current situation, identify objectives and goals, and determine how to best to achieve those ends.
I work with many issues which can be categorized as follows:

70% of youth in the juvenile justice systems have at least one mental health condition.
People with severe mental illness are over 10X more likely to be victims of violent crime than the general public.
Stress Management
Stress Management

Stress is produced when we focus on any thought, perception, feeling or emotion that causes flight, fight, or freeze responses.
Unchecked and unmanaged, stress can cause headaches, irritability, anger, panic disorders, teeth grinding, jaw tensions, increased heart rate, strokes, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive issues, weight gain, obesity, decreased sex drive, muscle tension, Fibromyalgia, and sleep disturbances.
60-80% of primary care doctor visits are related to stress.
Relationship Conflicts
Relationship Conflicts
Miscommunication, strong emotions, stereotyping, and negative behavior are typical causes of relationship conflict.
It can cause unhappiness, fear, withdrawal, confusion, hostility, distrust, poor self esteem, negative thoughts, and loneliness.
Family conflict can cause depression throughout life and potentially even cause early death.


The Elimination Diet:
Remove anger, regret, worry, resentment, guilt, and blame.
Then watch your life and health improve.
