Balancing life with its daily challenges and responsibilities can be overwhelming. Anxiety may cause difficulty with concentration or decision-making, strain in relationships, procrastination, or cause intense emotional discomfort. I understand our anxiety can be isolating and govern our thoughts making it difficult to thrive in life. It shapes how we interact with the world which may affect our ability to be productive, build lasting relationships, and cope through difficult times. Together, we can establish practical tools to manage your symptoms effectively and find the root cause of your anxiety, so you can reclaim your life.

My approach to therapy with adults is based upon the belief that everyone has the power to heal oneself. My role is to serve as a guide, a facilitator or a conduit depending on the needs of my clients. The longer I practice, the more I realize that the key to "treat" human conditions is through light, love and compassion. I have a lot of success working with people who suffer from trauma (e.g., sexual abuse), anxiety, severe depression and life changing events (e.g., severe illness, loss of a love one). Therapy process includes inner child work, shadow work and energy healing.

People pleasing and perfectionist tendencies leaves us drained, resentful, and disconnected from who we are at the core. You may be fed up with the pressures and expectations of doing “all of the things”, feeling stretched too thin or wish you had the inner strength to make yourself a priority. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to commit to the change. You’re ready to kick self doubt to the curb. Most of all, you’re ready to embark on a journey towards peace and purpose.

These days, it's easy to find oneself at one's wit's end and wondering about next steps. For example, you may wonder why life has turned out so differently than you planned in love, family, career, and/or health? Or, perhaps you're tired of having the same heated argument with your spouse about spending money, who does what around the house, or how to parent. Could be, you're wondering how to keep everything functioning at home amidst the millions of conflicting school and sports schedules, teens who don't want to talk to you, and parents who still treat you like you're a kid. All these are normal parts of the human experience.

Sometimes life does not turn out the way we had hoped it would, and sometimes it does and we find ourselves confused about how we feel about it all. One day we start to question our lifelong belief that we are “the good Christian heterosexual" and feel the intense desire to live as our authentic selves. Or we question what we're doing with our lives. Life oscillates between heartbreaking times and beautiful moments and everything in between. Part of being a human being is overcoming challenges and allowing life’s beauty into our lives by welcoming meaningful connection and support from other trusted individuals.
