If you’re unhappy, but you don’t know why, maybe I can help. Maybe you feel sad, scared, anxious, overwhelmed, and angry. You want to be happy, but somehow keep self-sabotaging. Or, maybe you just have a lot going on and days are getting longer and harder to get through. I believe that past stressful or traumatic experiences create beliefs that shape thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns. This can show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, and other emotional difficulties. I want to help people live freely in the present, develop meaningful connections, and find peace in their lives.
