Taking the first step is often the hardest. Whether you are looking to heal old wounds, create a new reality, improve your golf score, attract abundance, or learn to manage everyday stressors more effectively, at LifeWorks you will find a safe space and a compassionate heart to guide you.
Our mission is to empower our clients to live joyful, peaceful, and satisfying lives through emotional healing and freedom. With this goal in mind, I offer an unusually effective approach to therapy.
A large body of recent scientific research has shown energy psychology to heal emotional and behavioral issues faster than drugs or traditional psychotherapy alone. That is exactly why I combine my expertise in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
You will find our sessions to be powerful, yet unobtrusive, and my style to be gentle and effective. While emphasizing self-love and acceptance, I encourage self awareness to change unconscious belief systems and self destructive patterns.
I welcome you to call me so we can chat about your goals. I invite you to discover emotional freedom whenever you are ready.
