Can practice in Psypact states. It takes an incredible amount of strength and courage to realize that you are struggling and need support. It’s even more tiring doing the same thing over and over again while having the same outcome. Are you struggling with love or sex addiction, porn addiction, or trauma bonds? Have you been deeply betrayed by the person you love who is not healthy for you? I believe we all have an innate ability to heal within a safe environment that allows us to be vulnerable and feel validated. My goal is to provide you that environment to explore your struggles and empower yourself to work towards your goals.

Struggling to function at work and at home, meet deadlines, as well as the expectations of relationships, while also experiencing anxiety, depression or substance abuse-whatever the challenge may be-can be hard to explain to friends and family. At times explaining what's happening in our heads actually feels more exhausting than what's really happening and can lead us to isolation and loneliness.

My clients oftentimes say they struggle with symptoms such as recurring negative patterns in their life, anxiety, depression, anger, overwhelm, relationship issues, problematic family dynamics, trouble getting new habits to stick, compulsively using external things to feel better (i.e. work, people, alcohol), pain, headaches, and more. Through a mixture of talk therapy and body centered approaches, we explore sources of symptoms with curiosity and build on your strengths to move toward feeling more grounded, presence, and connected.

Are anxious thoughts causing your thoughts and feelings to spiral? Does the mention of conflict make your stomach churn? Are you just overall feeling stuck? These problems are complex and painful, affecting your emotions and your personal and professional life.
