I've worked as a counselor, licensed psychotherapist, wilderness guide, coach and EFT Practitioner. I have been helping individuals, couples and groups since 1991. I have advanced clinical training and certification in EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), an evidence-based, mind-body healing technique that involves gentle self-applied tapping on your upper body while focusing on painful emotions/thoughts or sensations, allowing them to be fully released for good.
I'm a clinical member and training consultant for the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP). and as of 2023 I have personally conducted more than 15,000 EFT Tapping sessions.
My main areas of focus are Emotional Trauma, Peak Performance, and Coaching Entrepreneurs to overcome fear and anxiety and create meaningful authentic work and healthy fulfilling relationships. I'm passionate about helping people experience greater self-awareness, peace and optimal flow in their personal and professional lives.
