I want to teach you how to regain your power and make life decisions that honor your existence and future.

You may be having a hard time focusing and paying attention. You may just want to be left alone or are beginning to become more and more irritable about situations. And yet, no one seems to understand you. You believe that you are getting little support or understanding from friends and family. You are experiencing a great deal of stress trying to figure out how to move forward and hold everything else together. You are not alone. Call me. I can help.

Life is hard at times, particularly if you are a teenager or young adult! I can help with these difficult, hurtful and confusing challenges. Solutions are not always obvious or easily resolved. But, it is possible to make positive changes. Seeking therapy does not mean you are weak. Taking that step forward demonstrates strength and opens the door to new possibilities and change. While scary, change is good! Redirecting energy to the positive rather than the negative, removing toxicity from your life--and yes, even dealing with teenagers-- can be the result of a good therapeutic partnership.

You have the power to be great and the power to choose how you want to live your life, but, what good is it to have that power, and not the strength to use it. I know you have seen this across many social media sites, "check on your strong friend", well I am checking on you. Do you feel like you have lost your power? Are you the one always helping others? Have you neglected you? As a working mother, wife, doctoral student, and business owner, I too know this struggle. Let me help you find your power and joy. Don't let the pitfalls of life get in the way of your happiness. Call today and take the first steps towards your healing!

You've already taken the first step, now let's get you INSPIRED!!!

When you are ready to live, is when I can help. Do you have the WILL to change? Relationships require work and are bound to face challenges large and small. If each partner is willing to address the issue at hand and participate in developing a solution, most relationship problems are manageable, but when challenges are left unaddressed, tension mounts, poor habits develop, and the health and longevity of the relationship are in jeopardy. "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." (Maria Robinson)

Sometimes individuals struggle with managing daily life challenges, stress, depression, parenting woes, difficult relationships, self-esteem, mental health, family problems and many other issues that come with life. When you're suffering, it's natural to want to talk to someone about your problems.

Are you feeling stuck in a rut, depressed, angry or anxious more days than not? It's not a matter of willpower so please take the first step and stop beating yourself up! We were all created to be loving, connected, and balanced individuals and anytime we are not feeling that way it's because of our baggage. Professionally and personally, I have found that by combining IFS therapy with EMDR, many people are able to revisit painful experiences in a way that allows them to release feelings of terror, shame, and guilt and leave their baggage behind.
