More About My Approach
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming but learning techniques to manage it is liberating. I use various practices and techniques, rooted in mindful awareness, to help you recognize and understand your feelings. Once the belief systems that fuel the anxiety are uncovered, we can work towards a level of acceptance so that you can slow down your responses to stimuli, calm your nervous system and settle in to your life in a more easeful and relaxed state. Freedom from anxiety will open up your world in unimaginable ways!

Relationship Issues
In working with relationship issues, I will support you in focusing on your role in the relationship in order to uncover your unmet needs. I will work closely with you to explore emotional triggers so you can identify your needs and gain clarity around how you “show up” in the relationship. All of us have a relational stance that shapes our interactions in relationship. You may not realize you are caught in a dance with your loved one and that shifting your actions can change the way the other responds. I will support you in understanding your stance in order to create space for more effective communication, greater opportunities for connectedness and increased intimacy.
"At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want."

Depression
Depression can show up differently in individuals. You may cry frequently, feel irritable or have difficulty feeling anything. You may feel as if your life lacks meaning and there is little joy in your daily routine. You may yearn for deeper connections to others or more fulfilling work/home life. You find it hard to make decisions and constantly second guess yourself, which leaves you feeling stuck and hopeless.
In working with depression, I will support you while we explore the painful emotions and negative thought patterns that sit alongside the feelings. Increased clarity around challenging mental/emotional states can shift the way you relate to these feelings and lead you toward a more fulfilling life. As the depression lifts and you tap into what is most important, you will begin to feel increased joy. Your energy will improve and you will notice a restored sense of hope.
