Trying to balance all of the demands and challenges in our lives can be overwhelming! We've all been in a life situation where we have felt stuck or struggled with feelings that seem insurmountable. Sometimes we know what’s wrong and other times we just have the sense that something isn't "right". Finding a therapist to help you understand more clearly what’s going on can help you to learn to make the choices that will help you move forward.

I have had the pleasure of working with all age groups for over 30 years. Need help with your kids? Parenting education and training are important issues in my practice. In general, important goals in therapy include learning how to make the best decisions for oneself in day-to-day life and in developing basic problem solving strategies. Often, significant change can be made simply through the process of education and awareness, offered in a caring and compassionate environment. I use EFT in my practice to maximize symptom relief and minimize the need for extended time in therapy.

Therapy is an investment in your life. We spend time going to college to educate ourselves or going to the doctor when we aren’t feeling well, why shouldn’t we spend as much time on our mental health? Some of the benefits of working with a therapist include feeling more empowered in your relationships, work, and future; learning tools and techniques that help address your current issues; and developing coping strategies that help you handle difficult situations. A therapist can provide you with a safe place to explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns without fear of reprisal.

The process of change and healing is challenging. Healing is hardly a singular upwards track and in fact, there are multiple ups and downs. Healing is an adventure that takes us outside of our comfort zone and our ‘norm’ to find self love and show up as our authentic selves in all areas of our lives. We step outside of the standards and experiences we thought were protecting us and in actuality, they were our survival mechanisms that are no longer functional for us through our healing process. We may feel defeated or isolated when we feel stuck. My experience has shown me that people are resilient and able to heal and grow.
