You are never too sick, broken or too anything to start again. I believe that everyone has experienced trauma in some form which expresses itself differently within each individual, and that everyone can benefit from therapy.

Together we weave a new story -body, psyche, soul- of what you desire on the deepest level.

Do you find yourself fighting back tears at work? Do you feel like you have to lie and pretend when people ask you how you're doing? Are you starting to question your decisions, maybe even losing trust in yourself? When you notice that "small" things are causing "overreactions," you may feel like there's something wrong with you, and spiral deeper into confusion and self-doubt. These feelings are often connected to older issues that we try to shut away and pretend aren't affecting us. We can usually get by using denial and avoidance for awhile, but it almost always catches up with us.

It's a big step to reach out to a therapist/coach. Trust me, I know. Maybe you are contemplating a big change in your life; a loss or a question about ending or beginning a relationship? Or maybe you've been feeling like life has no meaning or just feels "blah?" Are you in the midst of an existential crisis or maybe it's more of a chronic problem like compulsive behaviors you can't seem to quit? Life is short, much too short to suffer through days feeling as though you are in a dark, lonely and unsatisfying existence. Working with me, I'd like you to know it's possible to THRIVE and to live the life you really believe you can live.
