"Do you feel like life is always overwhelming? Are you using drugs, alcohol, and food to cope? Do you feel alone? Our culture today pushes for faster, better, stronger which can be painful. Eating disorders, addictions, and co-dependency, in addition to depression and anxiety, often emerge as a way to cope when in reality, it cuts us off from experiencing freedom, joy and ease. I work with teenagers and adults who have found that their "old ways" are more causing more suffering than comfort and they are ready to open to something new."

Together we'll discover the kind of unique support you'll need to help you understand and rework ineffective patterns, create healthy and fulfilling relationships, and build skills that enable you to meet your personal and professional goals."

"Are you struggling with anxiety, life or relationship stress, a role transition, or trauma? A national expert, I offer whole person therapy guided by neuroscience. Using tools from mindfulness, EMDR, cognitive-behavior therapy, or schema therapy, we develop a personalized plan. Anxiety occurs when your brain, mind, and body get stuck in a biologically wired "fight, flight, freeze" response because of stress, trauma, or relationship distress. You may worry, feel panic, be chronically resentful, or feel socially anxious. You may have avoidance that interferes with goals. You may develop addictive or angry patterns that mask underlying distress or trauma."

By understanding the underlying issues of addiction, one is able to learn new life skills and build a life of emotional well-being and balance. Recovery from addictive behaviors and thinking offers the opportunity to reclaim your life and expand your potential."

"There's in fact a tried and true way of finally coming to fully trust in yourself, which heals the self-doubt that can otherwise complicate life so unhappily. Whether your self-doubt involves anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, trauma or shame, there sleeps within you the instinctual self-certainty which silences the "critical voices" from your past.To revive an abiding faith in your core self with a reliable confidence in your instincts and innate abilities, you recover the inspired initiative to actualize your life's goals and dreams, while engendering harmonious and mutually respectful relationships with others."
