The secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
not to worry about the future,
or not to anticipate troubles,
but to live the present moment
wisely and earnestly.

Nancy Williams, MSW, LCSWMind-Body Psychotherapy
Welcome To My Website!
Would you like to maximize your health, well being and quality of life? Are you having troubles in your relationships? Learning change at deep levels is possible. I provide therapeutic counseling/coaching for individuals, teenagers, couples, and families who are struggling with relational issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use, anger management, anxiety, depression, chronic pain/illness, body image, communication, low self-esteem/confidence, and lack of motivation.
I believe that for counseling to be the most effective, we must incorporate all of who we are - mind, body, and spirit. Find balance. Counseling is an integrative approach, which utilizes various healing methods to help you understand and develop new perspectives and life skills that can help you heal emotionally/physically. Therapy is about learning to live in the present moment, positive thinking, accepting yourself and others, becoming empowered, and experiencing your healthy best.
Chronic Pain - is both a sensory and emotional experience. Chronic pain may range from mild to severe and persists or progresses over a long period of time. It may result from a previous injury long since healed. Or it may have an ongoing cause, such as arthritis, cancer, nerve damage, or chronic infection.
Psychosomatic Disorders - From the Greek "psyche" for mind and "soma" for body, psychosomatic refers to the complex relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and body. Unresolved emotional conflicts and trauma can lead to psychosomatic illness. This does not mean that, "It's your in imagination." Psychosomatic illnesses may include digestive problems, genital disorders, headaches, tension, pain, etc.
