Emotional regulation is the key while rebuilding the new neurological pathway for our brain to process difficult life experiences.

Though you move forward daily, you struggle with confidence and experience feelings of fear, anxiety & loneliness. You may feel overwhelmed, unloved, and unseen. While you may not understand how you got off track, you lack a sense of purpose: not finding true happiness in your daily living, difficulty feeling & expressing gratitude, and never truly living in the moment. Past hurt has caused you to build up protective barriers & while they help in some aspects, they also create an inability to connect. You’ve worked hard & accomplished so much, yet you struggle with persistent feelings of self-doubt. You may wonder: Where did "I" go.

As we all have heard, "Life is a journey." Therefore, as with any "road trip," once in a while we may need to stop, check our path, and refuel before continuing onward. As a practicing clinical psychologist, I am committed to working with my clients to help them explore a variety of life paths and detours in order for them to reach their destinations and achieve subjectively important, and oftentimes difficult to achieve goals.

No one knows how hard it is to be in a relationship until you're in one. You love each other and want to make it work, but lately, your relationship has felt difficult. As you navigate together through different chapters in life, you're noticing more differences. You didn't realize that you have different communication styles, or that your values are more different than you thought. You’re not quite getting your points across, no one feels heard or understood, and your conflicts get in the way of truly seeing one another. You’re tired of having the same conflicts. I get it, it's exhausting.
