Did you just reach your breaking point? Are you at risk for losing what you care about the most? I work with people experiencing anxiety, debilitating stress, relationship issues, and addictions. I help marriages survive problems like alcohol, drugs, infidelity, and other complicated issues. Problems can be destructive and overwhelming. Building a life you love in these conditions can seem impossible. But the right change, at the right time, in the right way makes a difference. Good counseling and coaching helps you win the fight of your life while trying to live it.

At An Open Mind, LLC, we use a coaching approach rather than traditional counseling.
I enjoy working with children and families who are struggling to understand each other and get along. A lack of communication and an inability to express feelings appropriately are often the main issues in these relationships. I work with not only the children/teens to increase their abilities in these areas, I also work with the parents and siblings to help them understand how they can help the relationship be less turbulent.

Have you recently experienced the death of a loved one or beloved pet? Do you struggle with feelings of regret, guilt, or isolation? Well-intentioned messages from others may be to “just push through it” or "give it time." However, we are often left feeling alone and uncertain about how we are supposed to resume our relationships, careers and lives. For some, unresolved grief can lead to poor physical health and a lower quality of life. Grief is not a sign that you are unwell or unevolved. It means that you have loved and you wanted love to continue. Love and life beyond the loss is possible.

Waitlist for new clients
The areas that I help my clients with are for those dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, low emotional intelligence, addictions (especially sex/porn addiction), personality disorders and trauma. I find that people are looking for ways to deal and cope with the stress and challenges in their lives and unfortunately most people do not cope with their problems in a healthy way; instead they will find ways to cope by escaping, keeping themselves busy and distracted, basically never dealing directly with the problem and defer it for another time, but that time usually doesn't come.

Coaching Therapists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
