"I'm so overwhelmed." "I'm afraid this is the best my life will ever be." "Having fun takes too much energy." "No one cares about me." "I mess everything up." "Is life really supposed to feel this hard?" Are you struggling with negative self-talk such as above? Are you experiencing overwhelming stress that is taking over your life? Have you been through difficult or even traumatic experiences that are causing you to feel stuck or hopeless? Your past doesn't have to define your future. It is possible to experience a life that is fulfilling and positive.
You deserve to experience a safe and nonjudgmental space and to feel accepted and empowered. I will help you to stop the tornado of negative thoughts and memories in your head. You will not be alone on your journey to find balance and life satisfaction.
If you are struggling with your own life, your child's behavior, family conflict, or relationship issues, I can help you through a variety of therapeutic techniques. Take a deep breath and know that you have someone who understands you, who accepts you, and who will help you.
