In a world full of so many different people we are bound to encounter a vast array of road blocks. Some are easy to verbalize and some are not. Some of the things we experience are small and can be minimized but some cannot. Sometimes we don’t trust enough to share and sometimes we do not know how to communicate what we are feeling, when we are feeling and why we are feeling. Embrace gives us the opportunity to be open to the therapeutic process, embrace it like a warm hug of comfort. To Embrace the process we must first start with the Problem. To Trust the Journey we must envision where we want to be in our lives and go for it.

Waitlist for new clients
Are you noticing the desire to make changes? You may be struggling with anxious thoughts, self doubt, worries or stress. Transitions such as moving, having a baby, dealing with relationships or the loss/desire of one are all things that happen and can be overwhelming. Are you looking to gain a deeper awareness, develop healthy coping skills, or manage what may feel like is out of control? Maybe it's simply time to process what's going on, find or renew that sense of inner strength and confidence.

The people I work with have had a variety of negative life experiences with ONE thing in common. It still bothers them days, months or even years since it happened. I help people who feel like "I should be over this by now" and are tired of feeling overwhelmed by the images, feelings and sensations that come up unexpectedly day or night. The people I work with often say "I just want to stop thinking about it". They often feel shame because they feel something is wrong with them because they can't "get over it".
