“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” - Brene Brown. Sometimes life gets hard, and there are times we are unable to verbalize what we are going through. Other times, we just want to avoid and not feel it all— something that we are not meant to do but we all commonly do.

You are not alone. Whether you are unsure and struggling or ready to reach out for help for yourself, your child, teen or partner, we understand how difficult it is to have exhausted all your ideas and solutions. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, unsure and upset about the unwanted things that have and are happening around you. We are here to help guide you and those you love to develop the insight, understanding, and skills necessary to make life better. All the stress, discomfort, and pain you now feel can reduce and life can be and feel less worrisome and stressful. You can be at peace, hopeful, healthy, and feel happy again.

Does any of this sound familiar?….”Tried deep breaths. Tried offering help and comforting. Tried consequences. Nothing is working! I’m not sure what to do or say to help…” These are words we often hear when parents come to us looking for help. You are not alone. Whether we are supporting one through parenting, grief and trauma, just a bit of rough patch, or learning to navigate life with Anxiety, Autism, ADHD, OCD, or Sensory Integration differences, we are here to help you find your way. It is privilege to witness transformation as we join our children and families on their journey towards growth and healing.

I have the privilege of helping people who suffer from depression and anxiety. I use TeamCbt which is a cutting edge evidence based approach that gives them tools to change the way they think and feel and gets them the relief they are looking for. My goal is to be the last counselor they have to see by empowering them with techniques, skills and strategies they can use for the rest of their lives. It is incredible to play a role in getting relief for people who have been suffering and to see them go from despair to freedom. It often happens in a matter of a few sessions. I have been specializing in this approach for over 2 years

Are you living with anxiety and panic attacks? Is anxiety ruining your life? Does your stress seem to be more than usual? Anxiety is our bodys way of telling us that things are off balance. Avoiding activities and friends wont make it go away. It just makes it get stronger. Are you sick and tired of feeling on edge or scared? It is time to get free of the hold anxiety or panic has on you. You deserve a happiness.

I believe that we all have an inherent ability to heal deeply, oftentimes we just need a safe environment to begin to open and step on this healing journey. When we realize that disoriented parts of ourselves cause imbalance and problems, the awareness itself leads the way to becoming whole and come home to ourselves. As we move through the story of life in time and space, we carry the past to the present and the present to the future. Our bodies – physical and subtle hold so much of our stories beneath the surface. My goal, using somatic-based approaches, is to help you reattune to our existential wisdom and bring lasting change.
