Please note-cash only practice. Your brain is the most brilliantly designed piece of engineering in the whole universe. It allows you to experience the world. It's where all of your great ideas live. And it's what makes you a unique individual. You are one in billions! You are meant to experience joy and to do spectacular things-according to your best paradigm based on your values. Traumatic life experiences and chronic stress can interfere with your ability to curate your paradigm which may lead to depression, anxiety, and poor functioning. I can help you with these symptoms.

Your narrative is everything. Traumatic experiences alter your narrative and cause unproductive emotions like guilt and shame, beliefs that don't serve you, and self destruction. I can help you identify thought patterns and gently challenging some beliefs to to come up with a better narrative. Medication may be helpful for distressing symptoms.
What negative story do you repeatedly tell yourself? Want to change the script? I've been there too! Reach out to me and I will help you create a more empowering narrative for your life.
