Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

Fact is, the past often gets in the way of living life to its fullest. Do you feel emotionally drained, empty inside with thoughts of self-loathing? Maybe you are consumed with shame over memories, behaviors or thoughts you cannot seem to control. Loss of sleep and an overall sense of irritability can overwhelm any sense of normalcy. This is not the real you-but how to get out from under it? Breakthroughs happen... when digging deep one needs an experienced hand to shine a light to help.

Is your kid/teen a blackbelt in avoiding responsibility, arguing their way out of any disagreement, or spending more time doing what they want to rather than what you’ve asked them to over and over again? If only they’d sit still and finally listen when you tell them what they should be doing instead. When it comes to kids/teens who have mastered these ancient arts however, this approach rarely seems to work. Finding ways to help young people that isn’t perceived as scolding, lecturing, or punishing is my focus, and teaching them how to make peace with their inner world is my goal.
