Let me give you a challenge. For the next 30 days I want you to think about this phrase every day. Write it down and really consider it. "Most of our thoughts, behaviors and emotions are habitual. We wonder why our lives don't change but fail to consider that we are utterly predictable in our daily habits." Our brain seeks to make things habitual. And, you guessed it - that's a key factor in change. Call me, I help people go further in their lives/careers/ and relationships. I've spent 20 years deep in the science of change. If you don't know how to change things - that's OK because I do. Let's untie the knots and stop the pain.

I work and have specialized training with children, teens, young adults and adults. I treat anxiety, depression, life changes and challenges, self-worth and self-esteem, stress, childhood issues, and school performance or difficulties. Through my lived experiences through the education system and with family members; I work with my clients in a personalized way in achieving their life goals.

My preferred approach with clients comes from my own experience in what really works to heal, recover, and create change. As cliché as it is, I truly believe that “we’ve got to feel it to heal it.” My approach is experiential - and emotion and attachment-focused. This really just means I think some of the best healing happens in our connection with others, starting with working on our relationship with ourselves. I also use curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that every situation is unique to create a personalized approach.
