Cognitive and behavioral approaches are also utilized, depending on what best meets your needs.

Have dedicated my life in accompanying people on their voyages of self-exploration to reach inner peace. Through interweaving traditional approaches with psycho-spiritual disciplines, the following theories and modalities serve as the foundation for my work: the Voice Dialogue Method, Quantum Physics theory, Hypnotherapy, Art, Movement, Dream Work and Energetics. Please tune in to my podcast called Awareness Sucks to familiarize yourself with my approach.

There is nothing wrong with you for feeling afraid, anxious, depressed, angry, depleted of energy, numb, lost, and confused. In fact, your courage and your willingness to be vulnerable are what make you resilient. Your body is responding to its environment, and that’s normal. It is sending you messages and we are going to decipher those messages together. Be so kind to yourself as you are about to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

You feel the pressure to be "on" all the time- with the kids, at work, in all of your relationships. You may even be everyone's go to person, always willing to lend a hand. On the inside, it feels like you are drowning from all of the stress. That might look like snapping and being more irritable with your kids or spouse, and then feeling guilty afterwards. Or, having a really hard time setting boundaries because you want to make everyone around you happy. One thing is for sure, you don't want to go on this way and are ready for some relief.

"I understand that sometimes this just feels way too hard: sorting through the interwoven, complicated threads of what’s working in life and what’s broken, and then taking action to heal the broken bits is difficult work. But I assure you the quick solution never provides sustainable relief." -Pooja Lakshmin, author of Real Self Care. You and I will work together, building momentum toward the change you envision for yourself. Many of my clients are adolescents, young adults and college students, postpartum parents, and families of children with special needs.
