It's not uncommon for people to find themselves unable to get a handle on their mental and emotional worlds at certain times in their life. Whatever you are suffering from, it only takes the desire to make changes and the courage to ask for help that sets you on a path to feeling better. It is the start that stops most people, so congrats to you for making the first step. Whether you have PTSD/trauma, or needing to overcome anxiety, depression, self esteem, OCD, and more.... I use methods that can produce effective results in a short period of time.

As you embark on this healing journey, together as a team, we will develop goals tailored specifically to your needs.

Every single one of us struggles from time to time. Perhaps you're tired of repeating the patterns that leave you feeling stuck, frustrated and disconnected. So often we tell ourselves that we are the problem- that it lies within us. That we are somehow wrong. A depressive. An anxious person. A bad person. These ideas come from stories that others (and society) tell us about ourselves; other people pinpointing what they see as significant and telling our own story to us.
