Life is one stressful event or circumstance after another. You’re always getting knocked out of balance, making you anxious or depressed. You want peace and happiness in your life, but you feel more like a hamster on a wheel than someone with the agency and intentionality needed to actually make a change. Tomorrow is the day! You talk yourself into being motivated enough to start a new life. Then, tomorrow comes… and it’s the same old story. Between work, responsibilities, and distractions, you never get on course. You suspect your feelings of isolation and aimlessness have something to do with past trauma, but you’re not sure.
The anxiety and depression holding you back are likely the result of past trauma. Together in therapy, we’ll delve into your experience and look at your patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. You probably developed habits that once kept you safe but are now keeping you from living your best life. I’ll show you how to analyze and break those habits.
Once you distinguish what’s in your control from what isn’t, you’ll get relief from the anxiety. You’ll learn skills that will make you more emotionally resilient so that life’s hard knocks won’t take you off course from the life you really want. The time to start enjoying life is long overdue. Call me and we can get started with your free consultation.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. Both are client centered and allow the client to gain control over what they want in life and how to accomplish what they want in life. Client's will learn how to analyze their thoughts and how those thoughts affect their emotions and behavior. Then the client can learn to change those thoughts.
