Would you like to thrive in your life, rather than just do your best to survive? We believe that most people routinely tolerate high levels of stress and begin to feel hopeless for far too long before they reach out for support. You could struggle from a change in sleep patterns, feeling overwhelmed, increased anxiety, fighting with family and friends, irritability most days, and feeling disconnected or unhappy with your life. In fact, many people try to survive life this way. We believe that even one of these symptoms is enough reason to seek support.

Many of my clients say that, in one way or another, their life just seems disjointed, frustrating, overwhelming, lonely and confusing.

Have you been feeling down, anxious, experiencing low motivation, having trouble sleeping or are you going through a rough time? Do you feel like the harder you try, the more things go wrong? Life has a way of throwing many challenges at us, sometimes all at once. These challenges can impact the way our mind and body function, in ways we may not have even known were possible. The use of Mind and Body Medicine can offer many techniques to reprogram the body and brain to heal from the long term and short term effects of stress. A combination of breath, movement and meditation can reverse these effects and can be used to heal anyone.

“Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.”- Brené Brown We are often met with experiences in life that shape us and create patterns of responding to our environments in both healthy and unhealthy ways. We may feel alone in moments of darkness, confusion or in the presence of the unknown; you are not alone! We will work to trust the process of sitting with the uncomfortable, embracing uniqueness and vulnerabilities and identifying thoughts and feelings that prevent us from seeing our best selves.

ATTENTION ALL STRUGGLING IN RELATIONSHIPS AND/OR WITH PROBLEM DRINKING: You are ready to face your demons. You’ve had experiences in life that still haunt you, like a bad childhood, a horrible break up, or the death of a loved one. You’ve been able to maintain a sense of normalcy, but underneath the surface you are in emotional pain and you can’t quite put your finger on it. You may have turned to alcohol or drugs to deal with or numb the pain. You know you’re a good person and have every reason to be happy, and yet you can’t seem to FEEL completely happy and well. There’s a disconnect between your mind and your heart/soul.

When you find yourself squandering your potential or the potential others may see in you. When you feel like you’ve let everyone down…again. When saying “I’m sorry” has lost its meaning and compromising your core values seems to be commonplace. When comparing yourself to others is followed by feeling like you just don’t measure up, bouts of uncontrollable crying, and heart-pounding anxiety. When a series of bad decisions leads to hurt and fear…and shame. When dark thoughts, doubt, and loneliness creep into your life.

I feel treatment is about helping an individual embrace and accept who they are, in order to be the best version of themselves possible. I work collaboratively with clients to identify personal strengths, build upon these strengths, and provide clinical suggestions to enhance holistic wellbeing. My hope is to provide my clients the necessary tools needed to weather the storms of life. I want to help my clients take control of their lives and actively work towards feeling better through promoting internal growth.
