In life, we often feel overwhelmed, out of control, or caught in patterns we can’t seem to escape. We may be affected by trauma, feel stuck in relationships, get caught in self defeating thought spirals or find that we are sabotaging ourselves. Many of us move around the world carrying secret struggles with negative thoughts, emotions, or urges, which disturb our day-to-day life and make waves in our relationships. Changing life circumstances-both positive (like the birth of a child) or negative (loss of a job)-can cause anxiety and strife.

If you were to put together a list of the most important people in your life, who would be on your list? We all live in relationships and when we are not in harmony with them this can cause anxiety, sadness, confusion, low self esteem and worth. Our core relationship is with our self. I invite you to take the journey inward, to explore, and learn how to bring out your greatest potential.

Are you a Christian woman struggling to cope with life challenges, transitions and uncertainties? Do you struggle with anxiety, limited beliefs and negative self talk? Are you looking to be healed emotionally and mentally from past relationships and be the woman that Lord Jesus (Yeshua) has ordained for you to be? Do you feel like you are not where you should be in life and you “missed God”? Are you holding on to unforgiveness towards yourself, others and even Father God? Are you distant from Lord Jesus (Yeshua) and need some spiritual guidance to reconnect with Him?

I have experience in working with trauma, medical issues and chronic pain, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, gender identity and transition, foster youth and parenting, and caregiver stress. I was first attracted to this work when I realized how empowering therapy was for individuals who had dealt with trauma and loss while I was doing volunteer work. My drive to do this work is to help others achieve freedom from some of the things that are burdensome and keep them from living their best life.
