Are you overwhelmed and anxious? Are you tired of riding an emotional roller coaster? Do you want to stop the emotional pain but don't know how? I help individuals who've experienced traumatic stress regain confidence and learn how to live life on your terms. I help you develop skills that will enable you to move beyond any experience that has negatively affected your life. Together we will explore self-compassion and what it means to "dare greatly". In a safe and supportive atmosphere you will: * Learn effective ways of coping * Gain a sense of calm and clarity * Cultivate self-compassion and kindness * Discover ways to shift limiting beliefs * Live a life with less stress and less fear.

By cultivating self-knowledge, I help teenagers and adults of all ages: * Better understand themselves and the obstacles that have stopped their growth * Regain mental balance and serenity * Build satisfying relationships * Find personal direction and meaning People seek psychotherapy for a variety of reasons: The strain of daily life can overwhelm us, disorganizing our relationships and our work; forgotten, unfinished business from childhood can strike unexpectedly, plunging us into panic or deep depression; loneliness, by degrees, can become unendurable. Very few can solve these problems by themselves. But almost everyone can use therapy, a safe, receptive, and confidential setting, to resolve or improve their emotional crises and, beyond that, to reach higher levels of maturity.
