Are you living your best life? I believe that you are in control of your own happiness, and it comes down to making better choices to support your goals. Figuring out what those choices are is the hard part. Let's work together to help you make smart (though sometimes difficult) choices, while refusing to fall into negative, self-defeating traps. I will help you look for any underlying issues and come up with practical solutions. You can make lasting changes in existing behaviors - at least the ones that are keeping you from the life you deserve to have!

Has your anxiety been rearing its head? Anxiety/worry were put in overdrive due to this pandemic.

Anxiety cannot be taken away BUT you can with work through the anxiety. Take back the power and learn to be confident that you can deal with whatever comes your way.
