Are you feeling emotionally suffocated, confused and trapped into the invisible chain of a narcissistic relationship? You are not alone! My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your life, set boundaries, and embrace your true self.

Are you known for being a perfectionist, but in reality, underneath the perfectionist mask, you feel anxious, emotional chaotic, and overwhelmed? The thought of making mistakes or showing flaws brings up fear of rejection and judgment. Imposter syndrome seems to rear its ugly head all the time. You just want to be able to feel safe and relax, but you just cannot allow yourself to relax and enjoy. You're exhausted, but feel like there is no other option but to keep pushing on. You just want to be happy, damnit!

Healing in therapy is a holistic process that involves addressing the interconnected aspects of a person's well-being—mind, body, and spirit. It focuses on fostering balance, wholeness, and integration across these dimensions. By exploring and understanding past experiences, thought patterns, emotions, and physical sensations, therapy aims to promote self-discovery, growth, and a sense of harmony. Ultimately, the goal of healing in therapy is to cultivate inner peace, resilience, and a deeper connection to oneself and others.

As an "elder", I understand the vulnerabilities and anxieties that can arise due to the aging process. As a former counselor for active duty military around the world, I have a deep appreciation for the issues and sacrifices that are made by military families. Both elders and military families deal with change, loss and grief more than the average person. Yet these are issues that we will all eventually have to face. Learning to more gracefully move through these transitions is an opportunity for deeper emotional, psychological and spiritual growth. These challenges can become the medicine for your spirit and soul.
