You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as; anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

Seeing a therapist doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. It means that you may be seeking clarity in some areas in your life, or wanting to work through complex emotions. It may mean you are working through a traumatic experience or challenging negative thinking patterns. Some people come to therapy to learn new ways to cope with difficult situations, or they may be focused on personal growth. Whatever the reason you are considering therapy, I can help you increase your understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and explore areas in your life that you would like to improve in a compassionate and empathic space.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel that life has become stagnant. A mixture of emotions weighs heavily on your heart, yet you keep moving forward. At times, the responsibilities of life make you feel overwhelmed and cause anxiety, sadness, anger and isolation. You feel tired and unmotivated, but continue pressing on for yourself and those around you. You may feel as if you are just going through the motions. You tell yourself that if you can just get through today, tomorrow or next week, you may feel better. The many losses in your life may have caused you to work and push yourself, almost as a distraction.

Are you experiencing challenges with feeling stuck and uncertain of your future? Do you often feel overwhelmed in achieving your desired goals? Are you finding yourself possibly taking the path of most resistance? Do you feel like you have been struggling through your journey alone? You are a high performer with perfectionism tendencies however, it feels like the more you try, the more difficult it is to achieve acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Feeling overwhelmed can often create a sense of helplessness and a sense of being out of control.

I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional/Meditation Teacher dedicated to helping people turn their complex traumatic histories into lives of resilience, wisdom and focus. My work is focused on both educating clients about how negative thoughts and perceptions get lodged into our minds and bodies, which then greatly influence the choices we make in every aspect of our lives.

You may be wondering what a counseling experience feels like. Let's begin by picturing counseling as a "walking alongside" relationship during a painful, conflicted, or confused time. As we begin talking together, your concerns, and your desires for counseling will lay the foundation for clarifying your goals for therapy. Often, a creative plan for removing obstacles in the way helps us get unstuck and moving forward quite naturally.

You feel like you struggle to stay the course, and yet life continues to shift and change. You are searching for higher ground, but often feel like you are sinking. No matter how hard you dig in, you may have an underlying feeling of fear or uneasiness. Regardless of what you are going through, you put on a mask that speaks differently than how you feel. Some days you walk through the pain, and look for the sunshine, while other days it can feel overcast. Motivation to continue responsibilities is difficult. Self- care is an unfamiliar concept that applies to others, but not for you. Walking through each day feels redundant.

Life is busy. Life is chaotic. And figuring out how to balance it all can feel mentally, physically and emotionally draining. My goal is to help you find some calm in the chaos, and regain a sense of inner peace. When facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, or distress, we find that your mental health and physical health are affected. The body can hold onto emotions and trauma, so we can work together to release and let go of that which we no longer need. Sometimes time does not "heal all", the body keeps score. Self-care is how you take your power back, and I am here to support you along the way.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

It feels like no matter how hard you try you will never be good enough. Others see you as successful, but you feel you are hardly getting by. You wish you felt a broader sense of connection in your relationships, but it feels scary to be authentic with your friends and family. You're tired of ruminating on the past and feeling anxious about the future. You feel stuck and unsure of how to get on track. You are looking for a holistic approach bringing in mindfulness meditation and other evidence-based alternative therapies. I can teach you how to tap into the profound wisdom you already have to make changes in your life.
