Turning in bed to look at your sleeping husband, you wonder, “When did we become strangers?” You gave up on the dreams of a perfect marriage long ago. Now you’re trying just to make it through the day without fighting. There was a time when you loved and supported each other, but that felt like a different lifetime. Small things you used to overlook, like his socks on the floor, now make you grit your teeth. You’ve tried to discuss it, but every interaction leads to an argument and every argument to an all-out war. You’re not ready to give up on this relationship, but you don’t know how to fix it. You don’t know where to turn.

How much does your past interfere with your present? Are there hidden wounds or misguided beliefs from your childhood or previous relationships secretly governing your behaviors and affecting your life from the shadows? How exactly would wrestling with the root causes of these questions help you to deal with the negative characteristics or traits that are currently manifesting and negatively impacting your life?

Deciding to partake in therapy is a difficult decision to make. My goal initially is to fully explain to you the therapeutic process as well as establish a solid therapeutic foundation. Together, we will identify goals you want to meet and I will assist in anyway possible for you to reach them! I am a core-emotional based therapist that wants to target the uncomfortable emotions and situations and teach you how to walk through the emotions rather than avoid or become reactive.

If you have struggled with your weight and tried every diet that comes online, you are my client! My clients are usually borderline diabetic and struggle with weight loss and belly fat. I treat my clients from a nutritional and coaching mindset. Now with new scientific research, we know that it takes more than just "saying no" to extra portions. We know it takes getting your body chemistry back in line, by righting the ghrelin and leptin systems. What's that? Become a patient and you will find out. Oh, and did I tell you I have a 100% success rate? And mental health improves as well! Good Food equals a Good Mood!
