As a seasoned professional who once navigated the intricacies of oil and gas finance, I intimately understand the toll anxiety can take on our well-being. In the corporate arena, I witnessed firsthand the impact of stress, internal politics, and strained relationships in the wake of 2020.

I love working with people who are motivated for something better in their lives but haven’t been able to figure out what’s blocking them from having it. This can include relationships, career, success, sports, family, happiness, confidence and more. Maybe you feel unworthy or incapable of having that something better. Maybe trauma, mental illness or something else you can’t even define knocked you off track. Maybe you never remember being on track because it has been so long since you had that experience. There is hope and together we can find answers.

One of the most heartbreaking things we as parents will experience is having a teen or young adult who is struggling. Our teens & young adults will not know the depth of our love until they have kids themselves. We work hard to ensure our children grow up to be happy & healthy teens & young adults. There are things that can impact our ability to help our them. Things like depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorders, these are all complex challenges that can test our parenting skills to the limit. Largely outside of our control, these can have an impact on our teen's happiness & future growth.

Based on a thorough understanding of the interplay between thoughts, feelings and actions. The people I work with learn to replace self-defeating strategies with constructive alternatives.
