Why do we do what we do, even when we know it hurts us? So much of our behavior is unconscious. We are driven by patterns of behavior that have served us at some point in our lives. You may be here because you are recognizing that these unconscious patterns are no longer working for you. Perhaps these behaviors are now causing suffering to you or to those you love. Underneath that unconscious behavior is your authentic self, who you truly are. Together we will uncover your authentic self so that your light can shine in the world as brightly as it is meant to shine. The following symptoms are indicators that we may need some guidance from a professional:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Addiction
- Low self esteem
- Interpersonal issues
- Stress
- Anger
- Confusion
- Identity issues
Counseling is also a process that can help you:
- Clarify an issue and work through it
- Heal the past
- Become less reactive and more proactive
- Improve communication
- Connect more deeply with others
- Explore core values and learn to live your life in accordance with these values
- Identify goals in your life and begin to act toward meeting these goals
- Understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Understand your loved ones more deeply
- Enhance self-esteem and self-confidence
- Become more assertive
- Gain more control over your life
- Increase your coping skills
- Make better decisions
Together we will devise a treatment strategy to help you get back on track. Our work will focus on discovering what keeps you from being your authentic and joyful self. We will uncover the barriers that hold you back from stepping into the beautiful life that you deserve. Some of the techniques I use are:
- Cognitive Behavioral
- Therapy
- Trauma informed therapy
- Psychodynamic therapy
- Gestalt therapy
- Breathwork
- Mindfulness

My work is strengths based. As we uncover and discard the barriers to wholeness, we will fill in the gaps that are left by utilizing your strengths. I will help you love and accept yourself. Our work is designed to help you reach your full potential and step into your authentic self. We will help you use your innate healing capabilities to recover and thrive.
