"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Such a true statement! Many of us have to "work with the cards we're dealt," even when those cards leave us feeling as if we have very few choices, and as if we have no control of our lives, but, isn't,"Life what you make it"? With that said, are you happy with life? Are you struggling with the chocolates in your box, or cards dealt you? We welcome the opportunity to offer new perspectives, that could result in a more fulfilled life!

I believe that we learn unhealthy and unproductive ways of thinking that can lead to feelings and behaviors that are detrimental to the fullness of our lives. However, just as we learned to live this way, we can also teach ourselves to live healthy and more fulfilling lives.

I provide an open and non-judgmental space for in-depth discussion of needs and special exploration of strengths and hopes to move towards a healthy and productive life.

Ladies...when you look in the mirror, what are your first thoughts about the YOU who you see? Do you feel lovable, capable, deserving, beautiful? Or, do negative thoughts and traumatic experiences block your happiness? Or, maybe you just don't understand why you are angry or sad or anxious or depressed?

Breathing is the first thing we do when we come into this world and the last thing we do when we leave it. What happens when we don’t pay attention to our breathing?

I want to help you breathe again. Working collaboratively with you, I can help you identify meaningful treatment goals and options for healing.
