ANXIETY, PANIC AND OCD
There are so many different flavors of the same fear-based experience, but each one is equally painful. Anxiety issues can often be traced back to adverse experiences of the past, but it is possible to find relief in present-moment strategies here and now. I can provide support and tools that will help you change your relationship with your anxiety and with yourself. Sometimes anxiety causes barriers to reaching out and getting the support we deserve and need, but you can trust that making that leap is going to be worth it. I provide a relaxed, judgment-free zone where you can just be yourself and focus on what is most important- feeling better!

TRAUMA RECOVERY
Many folks with trauma have learned to survive in extreme situations, whether short-term or life-long. These survival skills can sometimes become a hindrance when we want to develop more adaptive patterns and healthy relationships afterwards. Trauma can leave us feeling like a shadow of our former self, and it can destroy what we hold most dear. Bessel Van Der Kolk said it best, “The body keeps the score”. Our bodies and minds hang onto adverse experiences to the point where they can even change the way our brain is wired. This type of intense challenge responds well to heaps of emotional support, self-compassion, and a well-known, evidence-based technique called EMDR. If you feel ready for this type of empowering journey, I will be with you every step of the way.
I am EMDR trained and working toward national certification with EMDRIA. For more information on this amazing technique, check out this link.
CHRONIC ILLNESS AND MIGRAINE
Illness does not discriminate, and chronic illness is on the rise. The body and the life we once knew, will never be the same. For some, chronic illness may run in families, and for others it can come as a complete shock. Either way, it does not make the reality of auto-immune disease any less harsh. Migraine is also a complex condition, with many factors that contribute to this often-debilitating diagnosis. As we work together, we can develop a personalized plan with focused efforts toward mind-body wellness. Both chronic illness and migraine have a mental and emotional component that can be addressed with the right support, and I would be honored to be part of your support network!

GIRLS' AND WOMEN'S SELF-ESTEEM
We all may struggle a little bit to love the one person that we will have with us for the rest our lives. In today’s world, social media and the internet seem to be waging war on the female self-esteem with endless posts by people who are paid to make us feel that we will not be worthy until we have what they are selling! Some of us received negative messages about ourselves growing up, or our individual struggles have created that “never good enough” feeling.
It is my passion and my privilege to help you discover the unconditional love and self-compassion that is your birthright as a human being! This is a judgment-free zone where you can be yourself, and it is my pleasure to create a safe space where you can grow, and we can explore what helps you take flight!
