I am a retired Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My years working with clients opened many doors for me that I had not intended. They were forays into the importance of bodywork, hypnotherapy, and spiritual exploration in mental health counseling. We talk of holistic approaches to health and wellness --mind-body-spirit-- but psychotherapy and medical science eschew the idea to a large extent. Healthcare remains fragmented and siloed.

During my years as a therapist, clients would come to me with issues of depression, anxiety, profound grief, trauma, and difficulty adjusting to the demands of life and the unrealistic expectations underlying the social stresses of our time. Many clients came too with complaints of pain, fatigue, chronic illnesses, and undefined physical problems often diagnosed by doctors as psychosomatic. I found that psychotherapy and talk therapy can go only so far in restoring health. 

For this reason, I shifted my focus to a more integrated approach, providing in-house body therapies (craniosacral), hypnotherapy, regression, meditation, and presentations from spiritual and psychic practitioners. My spiritual and more paranormal focus in understanding the origins of mental health issues grew out of numerous experiences shared by clients about empathic or psychic abilities, prescience, clairvoyance, dreams, spirit attachment and more.

This work led me to expand my background into the area of "spiritual emergencies" (labeled by mainstream medicine as psychosis or schizophrenia, bipolar disorder etc.). I also studied the area of past-life phenomena (in adults and children) and offered hypnosis or past-life regression options to clients. More recently I have become immersed in consciousness studies, near death experiences, and channeled writings. I've even explored the relatively recent expansion of consciousness studies in physics and other sciences (a challenge for the layperson).

I am still grounded in one-on-one psychotherapy. Based on your needs and interests, I will work with you on any range of issues. This is a time of great change and stress. I call this a period of "unraveling, " a time of intensified feelings of anxiety and hopelessness about an uncertain future. I work with clients of all ages.  I do not take on long-term therapy clients. If you are local (Pittsburgh PA), I can help refer you to other practitioners. I welcome clients who would like to explore less traditional topics that may be stigmatized by the mainstream health industry, including: 

  • Helping parents or expectant parents understand the spontaneous past-life memories and spiritual experiences of children who are often wrongly diagnosed with mental illness at a very early age. 
  • Using telepathic thought to communicate with the prenate and the pre-verbal child.
  • Understanding the spiritual roots of mental illness, physical disease, and pain.
  • Finding that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself.
  • Exploring birth, death and dying from the perspective of the eternal nature of consciousness.
  • Learning how to align the self and the soul.

I provide some of my findings on these and other topics throughout this website. Please feel free to explore on your own. Follow the links below.
