Throughout my almost a decade of experience, a common thread I have found in the majority of my clients has been rigidly conclusive thought processes & an automatic tendency of disregarding self positivity. When we are used to the familiar of negativity, it is easy for anxiety, depression & self doubt to take hold. It is empowering to accept that a change may be necessary. Acknowledging this is a positively significant step, initiating help for ourselves fundamentally lays the groundwork for big picture work.

I always say - life has 3 guarantees: constant work, pain and change/uncertainty. We are all going to experience these things at one point or another, and when it's present, it's not uncommon to feel disconnected and overwhelmed. I'm here to help you rediscover your way back to balance and well-being. My philosophy is simple: many of our struggles, whether they're related to trauma, relationships, life transitions, family conflicts, or anxiety, can often be traced back to disconnection - from yourself and from others.

Are you anxious or overcome with worry? Are you so overwhelmed with life’s challenges that you have no energy or feel disconnected from friends, family or even yourself? We all struggle to cope with the demands of daily life, but sometimes we can feel trapped and lose sight of our own sense of well-being and happiness. This stress may be caused by events we are experiencing now or events we have experienced in our past. The effect of these experiences may keep us from being our authentic selves, moving forward towards our goals, and realizing our hopes and dreams for a better life.
