Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you struggle to relax? Life can be filled with so many challenges and unexpected events. It can be hard to find your way through it all. You have tried to manage your feelings in different ways but it doesn't seem to help. You have high expectations for yourself & are critical of yourself when you fall short . You get stuck in your head, your thoughts keep you up at night and this makes it hard to sleep. You realized you need something more than talk therapy. I can teach you the skills to better mange your emotions so you can find the relief you are looking for & create the life you most desire.
You've tried therapy before but didn't get the results you hoped for. My approach is different. My holistic approach is integrated with talk therapy and integrates the body through grounding, breath, mindfulness or yoga. Imagine feeling more grounded, connected & hopeful about the future. Let's work together to create this path to healing and empowerment!
Through my holistic approach I can help you find more balance in your life: mind, body & spirit. I invite you to reach out and take the first step towards a more peaceful future. I can set up a free 20 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit! I look forward to walking beside you on your journey towards healing. Now offering Therapy Intensives too
