Awaken to the Possibilities..Change Your life for the Better! For over 20 years I have been helping people overcome and grow beyond their painful emotions and relationships, gain access to their personal longings and inner resources, and discover their deepest wisdom. Clients tell me that I have not only helped them resolve their presenting symptoms but also helped them heal the underlying source of their problems. Most people feel significantly better and are more prepared to cultivate their lives in uniquely rich and meaningful ways.

We can work towards learning skills like: effective communications with coworkers, regulating emotions when work loads feel overwhelming, and having work/life balance; as well as other topics such as social, personal, relationships and mental wellness.

Taking the steps to care for yourself and your mental health shows that you are ready for change. When coping styles or life experiences challenge our ability to navigate the world, we often need help to get a different perspective and learn new skills.

Unresolved conflicts or trauma from the past may be getting in the way of creating a more fulfilled life.

As we evolve through life, we are faced with challenges and new roles that may make us feel inadequate and uncomfortable. It is not uncommon for a person to feel stuck or lost during this time.

When we negatively question our self-worth and strengths, it is time to develop productive ways to break old patterns and see through a truthful lenses.

Loss of self and self-doubt can manifest in young people as anxiety, depression, burn out, anger, and more. Highly sensitive children and teenagers are especially vulnerable right now to struggles with these symptoms and may need guidance to (re)discover their purposes and passions.

This in turn leads to increased knowledge of self which can lead to increased self-esteem and a satisfaction with the world around them.

I'm an active, involved therapist, and no BS. If you are ready to feel good again, I'm ready to help you. Anxiety can be lonely, uncomfortable and scary. It seems like everyone else handles life's bumps perfectly, but for some reason, despite how intelligent you are, you can't get it together. I get it. Anxiety makes us play small. You don't have to give it that power any more. Let's find the place where the anxiety stops and you come through: Strong. Clear. Happy. Confident. Yourself. Because the life you were meant for is on the other side of this anxiety.
