Like focusing a camera lens to help create a desired picture, we need at times to refocus the image of our lives that may have become blurry often through the uninvited challenges or changes that come our way -or perhpas past events are not completely resolved as we thought. With blocked or stiffled awareness, our copng skills may be crying out for help as our deptression, our anxiety, our mood swings, our drinking, or our drug use may be taking over and managing us instead of we managing them. Do you hear yourself saying: I know that I need help; I want to do better; I want to feel better; I know that I can! Can you help me?

I help clients make significant changes in their lives through a combination of very practical goal oriented modalities like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, assertiveness practice, social skills training and life coaching as well as supportive modalities like insight therapy, guided visualizations and relaxation techniques. In addition, I also work with clients using approaches that include meditation, mindfulness and Ericksonian Hypnosis.

I work with individuals that are seeking to feel more comfortable within themselves, individuals and/or families that are struggling to communicate and do not know how or where to begin. I am here to help them navigate through their self-acceptance and the acceptance of others and help them achieve a feeling of empowerment that has been lacking or has not been identified.

At HummingbirdCTC, our clients are looking to grow in strength and internal coping skills to help them overcome identified dysfunctions in thinking and behaving. Those with histories of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, domestic abuse, and stress management issues and who want to change negative thoughts and patterns of reacting in order to meet interpersonal, romantic, or professional goals would benefit from working with me.

Have you ever felt afraid to fail? Regardless of the circumstances, failing, for some is not an option, yet it consumes many to a point where you become stifled into being complacent. You might find yourself frozen in doing nothing because you are stuck. The truth is high achievers often struggle with anxiety – it’s par for the course. Those who find success in all aspects of life are often viewed as “having it all together” but what often follows is a bag full of stress, depression, and anxiety. These states often lead to destructive or disturbing thought patterns, which then leads to negative influences on behavior and emotions.
