We all carry within us a dream, a purpose, a strength that flows, like water through our veins and every part of our being. It even flows through fear, pain, disappointment and all sorts of perceived failure. It gives meaning to life. It heals. It inspires. DreamWell LLC was born out of my dream to facilitate healing and to positively impact the lives of others. I hope to empower and support you in addressing the issues that have interrupted the flow of your personal and professional life and dreams.

I believe my purpose is to connect with women, men, and young people in such a way that the trauma they have experienced no longer has a hold on them physically, emotionally, or spiritually. I support my clients through the process of defining who they are and who they want to become in healthy relationships with themselves and others. I am a partner with my clients as they embrace opportunities to be transformed. I help illuminate the intersection among race, class, gender, and trauma, and how this intersection shapes who we all are as evolving human beings.

I believe that resiliency is in each of us. You may have tried multiple ways to create change for yourself and found it difficulty to break out of unhealthy patterns. These feelings may be affecting your work, relationships, or health. I have worked with many individuals and couples who struggle with creating change long term. Whether you've tried therapy before or this is your first time, deciding to step outside your comfort zone and try something different is the first step to a more fulfilling life.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Life is a journey not a destination. The path is filled with obstacles, detours, and unexpected storms. Navigating your Healing Journey can be tough. Along the way it is helpful to have support to help you learn and develop new skills to navigate the challenges and help you realize your strength and power within.

Hello You! Welcome to this brief introduction about me and the modality I use. My hope in working with you, is to help you liberate extreme emotions, restore trust in yourself to live in balance, harmony, and wholeness. So many of us are living in overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts; it is time to become emotionally whole and connected to others. This is an inside job, and it is worth it to be reflective, to see why you do the things you do and feel the emotions you do. The work is hard and ultimately worth, you are worthy of this journey to a fuller connection to your true self and those you love.

Life is about transitions and some transitions are more difficult to navigate than others. Are you feeling unsure of yourself? Are you feeling unbalanced? Are you feeling unfulfilled with your life or career choices? Are you having a hard time breathing when you are stressed or feeling overwhelmed? Does feeling anxious sound familiar? Do you just need a neutral (non-judgmental) person to talk with? When we are stressed, anxious, depressed or feeling lost, it is a sign that our "whole self" is out of balance. My focus is to provide an authentic, brave, supportive, affirming, and compassionate space for women.

Do you feel like life is spiraling out of your control right now? Are you worried about everything all the time? Are those worries affecting the way you parent? Show up in your relationship/s including yourself? Your career? Home? The person you are trying to become? Yes, it can all be so overwhelming and daunting and have you feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or stagnant like there is no way out. I am here to tell that there is hope and purpose with light in that dark tunnel you feel like you're in. I can help you navigate life challenges so you can find the best version of YOU.

I get it... you are holding EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY together. You are the super friend that everyone calls when their life is falling apart. They love you because you are at the top of your game and on most days, you have it ALL together. ​On the other hand...there are those days when you are FALLING APART and you don't have anyone strong enough to support you as you piece yourself back together. You try to reach out and talk to your friends but their best advice is, "I know you will figure it out. You need somebody to LISTEN, SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE you too. Every Strong Friend needs a Strong Life Coach or a Strong Therapist! ​

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** Life can be difficult at times, right? But who says we have to go through those times alone.

Seeking therapy to assist you on your journey to coping and healing is a big step, so applaud yourself for taking this initiative.
