Do you feel like anxiety is your baseline? Are you struggling with overthinking, decision paralysis, wondering if everyone is mad at you, and not sleeping well?

Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelm and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long term issues for your body, mind and spirit. It doesn’t have to be this hard.

Hi! I am so excited to learn more about how I can embark on the journey to wellness with all of my clients, but first, let me ask you a few questions... Have you noticed a change in how you feel mentally or emotionally... an increase in stress due to life's circumstances... a conflict in your relationships... or are you questioning why you think and act in certain ways? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I am the right therapist to partner with you on your wellness journey! I view therapy as a partnership that allows me to journey with my clients as they explore, grow, and actively pursue their goals.

Dr. Drummond provides a safe, supportive, nurturing and healing space for you to express what is afflicting and troubling you. He view his sessions as an opportunity to allow the inner workings of the Self to soothe and reconnect you to the essence of Soul and Being.

He then tries to help you discover alternatives that lead to healing and inner transformation.

Many of the clients I work worth identify as high-functioning on the outside, but internally exhausted, isolated, and stuck. Anyone can get caught in a rut and wrapped up in patterns we can’t see. We all have the innate capacity to heal and feel whole, but it’s difficult and frustrating to work on self-repair when you aren’t even sure what needs healing.

Whether you desire to break free from unhealthy or destructive beliefs systems or habits, a traumatic past, anxiety, depression, challenging relationships, unhealthy work environments, or any other human problem...the change, growth and understanding you desire is possible. As a therapist with much experience in working with individuals, couples and families I can help you on your journey to creating the self, relationship, or family you've so desperately longed to have. The truth is that change takes work and guided structure to get it right. It takes being courageous enough to admit you've thought about this for far too long.

The truth about mental health is that being mentally healthy is not simply being happy all the time and perfect relationships are not born they are built. It is a fact that life is full of twists and turns with amazing highs and heartbreaking lows, not just for the individual but for couples and families as well. True mental health is the ability to navigate through these points while embracing the full range of your emotions and honoring them and every part of yourself! This is the stuff that mentally healthy and strong people and relationships are made of and this is where my passion lies!

This is when you need someone who is genuine, safe, non-judgmental, caring, supportive, and redirects gently to help you decide the next steps in YOUR journey.
