I help adults resolve challenges at root cause, access their inherent wisdom, and then apply those insights to behaviors to improve their personal and professional lives. I most often use an efficient, holistic framework for healing called Life Centered Therapy (LCT). It is a unique integration of multiple theories of traditional psychotherapy with body-oriented energy psychology and spirituality, developed by Dr. Andrew Hahn, a licensed clinical psychologist.This framework helps people sensitively and efficiently resolve physical pain (e.g., chronic pain), emotional pain (e.g., depression, anxiety), relational pain (e.g., the same bad repeating dynamics), and spiritual pain (e.g., alienation, not knowing your purpose, not reaching your potential). I have taught this modality to psychologists, doctors, and coaches in the U.S., UK, Ireland, and Sweden.
