The world we live in can sometimes be rather chaotic. Unforeseen events, life stressors, and traumatic events can make it fairly easy to feel alone and very difficult to cope. I believe it is important to have a therapist who you can connect with, feel understood and empowered by. My ability to listen without judgment, show compassion, be empathetic and provide evidence based practices are essential in helping you find solutions from within. I believe in being a key partner in your life and walk with you through the difficulties you are faced with, no matter how long it takes.

Whether it’s executive coaching or wellness consulting, we will have honest and powerful conversations in an empathic way for the greatest impact. I believe in getting to the truth sooner rather than later so we can address the real issues and challenges and begin to heal and rebuild from there. While working through issues with my clients, such as burnout, stagnation or being in a sustained negative environment, we establish goals and a path towards accomplishing those goals.

As your therapist and advocate, it is our goal to assist in navigating through life’s daily challenges. Picture being in a world where you didn’t have to travel alone.

Change requires work and if you work on it, then change will be slow to manifest. Are you ready to see change? Are you feeling stagnated and is ready to start living life again, let’s start working together on your terms to self-discovery?

Difficult memories, trauma and similar stressors can erode our sense of safety and stability. One may be left feeling numb, isolated, empty, misunderstood or unable to connect, or as if a mask is always on. One may feel always on alert or feel guilt for not “getting over it.” My message is: you are not alone! Whether a vehicle collision or relationship challenges, big secrets or hurricane, trauma and distressing events can impact our ability to cope. When you feel overwhelmed & vulnerable and your support systems don’t feel like enough, seeking outside help is the courageous next step.

Are you trying to balance personal and professional responsibilities? Are you having difficulty maintaining relationships? Do you constantly worry about things and does life seem overwhelming? Knowing where to go and seeking help for dealing with these issues is not often easy. I believe therapy is a collaborative process for helping individuals to identify resources and solutions for their areas of mental concern. I work alongside with individuals to help them change their ways of thinking about various aspects of their life, improve coping skills, response to stressors and enhance relationships.

In facing challenges we often come across during these trying times it can often leave us with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. However, we have the greater choice to respond rather than react in the most profound and positive manner to what we may encounter along this arduous road to finding a better you. Throughout this purpose driven life of mine, I have had the greatest of opportunities to build with adolescents, adults, couples, families, and large groups.
