Ahhh, spring! Longer days, more sunshine, and the traditional time to do a thorough cleaning. Why not include your brain this year? Let's weed out old thoughts and beliefs that don't fit anymore, sweep out the cobwebs of negativity, and generally spruce up the space between your ears to be a more pleasant place to spend time. Just like with material things, if it's not bringing you joy, peace, or any positive benefit - why are you holding onto it?

Emotions are an important part of life, and help us to connect with others. Sometimes our experiences with intense emotions can take away from our ability to clearly communicate with each other or appreciate ourselves. Do you find it difficult to enjoy life in the moment? too focused on the past or worried about the future? Do you wish you could connect with your family or partner in a way that doesn't lead to conflict or slammed doors? Whether you are experiencing relationship conflicts, depression, anxiety, anger, feelings of low self esteem or sex related concerns, your feelings do not have to control your life.

Sometimes, our ‘figure it out’ feels broken. And sometimes ‘happily ever after’ feels like it will never come. I will help you explore attachment injuries and how these affect your current relationships. Past traumatic experiences affect how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to those around us. We can feel empty, lonely, and afraid. Do we shut people out because we fear being hurt? Do we have intense fears of abandonment? Does guilt and shame preoccupy us? Are we mourning a loss? Do we feel that we can never live up to our own expectations?

Navigating the various challenges of life can feel daunting. If you don't know already, you're brave to be making this first step towards finding a therapist. While talking to friends and family can help, having a safe, judgment-free, and private space to discuss the challenges you face can do wonders.

Wellness has been defined as a way of life oriented toward optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated to live more fully within the human and natural community. Ideally, it is the optimum state of health and well-being that each individual is capable of achieving. When working together in counseling, I perceive one’s thoughts are related to their feelings and reactions to events, not the events themselves. Counseling sessions are individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.
