What if change were possible?Given the chaos that seems to surround us 24/7, I can understand why so many of us are struggling with fear, regret, anger, and resentment. I also believe that even if we feel like we’re stuck repeating the same painful patterns or behaviors, it’s possible to change, it’s possible to resolve past hurt, it’s possible to enjoy life again.
My approach to therapy includes advanced techniques based on scientific evidence. You can scroll down below to see what some of those are. However, I'm not solely reliant on book-learning. Like you, I’ve been through both wonderful and terrible experiences. Merging training + life experience allows me to create a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where people are empowered to transform their lives via personal growth and intentional living. So - if you've landed on this page and you're feeling like the challenges you're carrying are heavy, or even impossible to deal with, please know that you are not alone and you don't have to figure this all out on your own. In our society, we don’t talk about it very much, but mental health "issues" are common and you're not "crazy" even if you are really struggling. Support and guidance in helping you live a present, joyful, whole-hearted, and meaningful life is my life's calling. Reach out today by by clicking on Request Appointment.
