Should I stay or should I go? A huge question that's weighed on you. It keeps you up at night, stressing you out. Life would be so much easier if your relationship wasn't so hard. You wish you could communicate better; feel understood. But, damn, your shit and their shit get in the way. Not to mention the pressures of career, aging parents, or demanding children. It all gets thrown in the mix, leaving you exhausted, distracted, and disenchanted by the status quo. You want things to change (better sex, intimacy, connection); you're finally ready to take charge of your life in a new and meaningful way. You've come to the right place!

Are you experiencing issues with anxiety, setting boundaries, or having trouble being assertive in your daily life? Has social anxiety or people pleasing affected your self confidence?

Building social skills when so much of our interactions are online, making new friends as an adult, or creating work-life balance can be confusing, challenging experiences. I want to help you strengthen your self-esteem, reduce stress, build assertiveness, and create the social life you want on your terms.

So you've tried everything and nothing seems to work. Now that you're in midlife you realize that time is running out. Life has flown by and you're still not where you want to be. You are now desiring to be healthy, prosperous and live your best life. But you still find yourself weighed down by the responsibilities of life and placing your desires on the back burner one more year until you can do this or that. Well, it's time to stop the vicious cycle of procrastination. There is no ideal time to start becoming the best you, the higher you, the real you. I can help you do that in ways you've never imagined. Let's get started today!

I know, right?!? Managing this thing called Life is hard work! You want an impartial person to help find solutions to lessen the struggle. And, there's been a load of struggle! It's been exhausting. Here's the deal: You don’t have to go it alone. All great superheroes need their sidekick. When the going gets tough, I’m here to join you to fight the good fight. I’ll direct you towards strategies for achieving your goals and moving you towards greater meaning and purpose. Sure, I can be tough and to the point. I expect great things from you. You deserve nothing less from your sidekick for your time, effort, and hard-earned money.

You may not control what's happening, but you can control how you heal from it. Everything that was meant to destroy you have built you. A strong foundation is key. How we allow life experiences to build us is up to us. It's time to grow. It's time to uproot every negative thing spoken or believed. Allow yourself to weed out the garden and plant a beautiful, healthy lifestyle that allows you to blossom. I believe that we are called to have a life full of abundance, peace, and joy!

I would like to help you and your partner to RECONNECT, REBUILD, and HEAL your relationship. Lately, have you noticed frequent disagreements and conflicts surfacing within the relationship? And during these conversations, have you noticed that either you or your partner is being overly critical and judgmental, defensive, stonewalling or gridlocked? If yes, these behaviors may indicate a negative cycle has developed and someone is feeling not heard, misunderstood, and/or diminished.

My ideal client doesn't have all the answers and may not even know where to start. My ideal client may feel unworthy or undeserving. My ideal client may also struggle with settling for less. My ideal client wants more but there is something within them that is holding them back. My ideal client may struggle with grief or have relationship issues. My ideal client wants more. I hold pride in the fact that I provide a Safe Space for people to share things that they aren't comfortable sharing with anyone else. My ideal client understands that they have to be the change that they want to see.

Maybe you can’t remember the last time you woke up without a weight of dread over you. Maybe sometimes you feel like anxiety is starting to rule your life. Or maybe depression keeps coming back as part of a cycle that feels like it won’t ever end, and mood swings or high energy times are scattered in between. You need targeted, effective skills to face what you're going through. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, or a bipolar disorder, I help clients identify and understand their problematic spirals, then find ways to disrupt the cycle. This makes room for new, healthy patterns, so you don't have to be in so much pain anymore.
