Our lives can often become overwhelming, leaving us feeling anxious, depressed or lost, without a clear direction to go. Often we know we don't want to feel like this but we're unsure how to change it. This is where therapy can help! Therapy provides a safe, honest place for people to explore their problems, collaborate to create solutions, and ultimately feel better. Life is meant to be enjoyed, full of happiness, and fulfillment. Topped with a good amount of humor! I want to help you have the life you want.

addiction

It is common that
addiction
is linked to a trauma history, and I have experience in treating both.
My primary interest is the treatment of trauma. I have successfully used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other methods of calming the nervous system. EMDR can help you process through and move beyond difficult memories so they no longer trigger intense emotions. Neurofeedback (brain biofeedback) is an additional intervention I now offer which can be helpful in healing trauma by calming the brain. You can experience peace of mind and a general sense of well-being. If you or a loved one suffer from anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares or mood instability, there is hope in effective treatment.

I know you want your child to be happy and successful and are doing your best to help him. You'd like to have less arguing and enjoy your family more. Parenting is such a hard job. It can really help to have someone with experience to look at your situation from the outside. I believe you have what it takes to improve your family relationships, but you could use a guide. Your child may need to learn how to cope with new situations. I would like to help you to bring out the strengths in yourself and your family.

I believe that we all come into this world as our original precious self. As we develop through childhood experiences, family, culture and society, we often lose touch with our true soul. Oftentimes we are hurt. Challenges and traumas can keep these hurts buried. Any issues left unacknowledged or unresolved keep demanding our attention. How do we overcome? Is it even possible to heal? According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies away anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible...
