Sometimes we feel alone, even in a crowd or with significant others. Pain, trauma, feeling different/misunderstood/unknown or even how we see ourselves can drive a wedge between us and the people and life experiences that matter most to us. If you are looking for someone who will join with you as you find your way through to a more meaningful way of living and toward more fulfilling relationships, then I welcome you to contact me for a free consultation.

You awaken most days with dread. The anxiety hits you immediately and you feel hopeless. You wonder how you're going to get through the day. These are familiar feelings, as this has been your experience for as long as you can remember. Despite being successful in your career, your relationships are suffering, and you don't know who you are. You are constantly feeling emotionally triggered and you're not sure why. The emotional distress is taking a toll on your health and well-being. You feel disconnected from yourself and others. You know it's time to do something different and put yourself first for a change.

Has your anxiety taken over? You continually ask yourself “Why am I feeling this way?" "Have I made the right decision?" "Why can't I stop overthinking?" You consistently feel like you are all over the place mentally and emotionally. Constant comparisons are affecting your self esteem, leading you to wonder why others lives are going well & yours is NOT. Overwhelming feelings have you contemplating the worst case scenario rather than the more likely outcome? I can help you make sense of your negative thinking. Together, we can explore the cause of these thoughts and with guidance help you regain control of how you respond to them.
