Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

My approach to counseling is that each individual has the potential within them to accomplish anything. My job is to help you realize that potential and to make peace with the issues that you face. Notice I never said anything about “getting over” what you have going on, because I believe that there are some things that make that impossible. But, I believe that if you are willing to work with me to achieve your goals, you can achieve the recovery you truly want
My journey to the present day has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve worked in the mental health field since graduating with my Master’s Degree in 2007. I’ve worked with many different populations in many different settings. Most recently I have been working with clients who desired to end their lives, or who were too sick to go about their daily lives. I’ve also supervised others, taught at a college level, and made presentations to other professionals. In the real world, I’ve worked in the medical field, customer service, and I’ve owned my own business. I believe this varied experience allows me to be more emphatic as well as take a more common sense approach to treatment.
I invite you to take a step toward something difficult and do something that is good for you. You always have the opportunity to go back to the way things were; that isn’t challenging in the least.

hey mzdawn, im sorry to hear about the attacks, they sound scary. It sounds as though you\'ve just been prescribed different pill after different pill but have gotten no real answers. You are on the medical conveyer belt :/ which is so frustrating! my advice is, listen to your body cause no one can do that as well as you no matter how much education they have. if you believe something else is wrong do research, have a daily calendar to write your symptoms daily, and find a doctor who will listen! good luck!
And as far as being alone, you are not crazy, i hate that word! look at all your tribe family here, we all got issues haha! keep your hope alive, you are so young!
your not crazy your symptoms are real the only good thing is they are not life threatening as they say. Anxiety sucks sooo baaadd. It is a living hell but it can be defeated.
