“To see and hear what is here, instead of what should be, was, or will be. To say what I feel and think, instead of what I should. To feel what I feel, instead of what I ought. To ask for what I want, instead of always waiting for permission. To take risks on my behalf, instead of choosing to be safe and not rock the boat.” ― Virginia Satir. I want to help you be your authentic self. Together we can uncover what is holding you back from living your truth. Whatever the root, you are in a safe space to release current or past trauma and beliefs not serving you.

Congratulations on taking this step to finding a new path to peace & true happiness. This is a difficult step and it shows how strong you really are. I am excited to walk beside you on this journey!

Happiness is something we find along the way, not something we get at the end of the rainbow. When the pain of staying the same outweighs the fear of change then change will occur. Sometimes we feel powerless and our lives become unmanageable so its important to find support and guidance to help create a life you don't need to escape from. Identifying negative thoughts and patterns and replacing them with healthy alternatives which lead to a deeper, richer and fuller life and lasting recovery. I have over 14 years of experience in the field of chemical dependency, drug addiction and substance abuse.

You never get a moment’s rest. Somewhere along the way, you realized it was your job to take care of everyone else. Now, every waking hour is spent seeing to other people’s needs while neglecting your own. You wish there were some way to make time for yourself, but you hate the idea of disappointing anyone. And it feels like if you slow down for even a moment, your endless responsibilities will swallow you whole. So, you keep pushing forward. Every day you feel less connected to yourself and more stuck in a life you never asked for. Any attempt at making a change has failed. You wonder if you’re destined to live this way forever.

Are you masking your true feelings? Sometimes the way you present yourself outside may differ from how you feel inside. You are the only one that knows how you feel.
