Vitality is a state of being strong and active energy present in all living things.
Well-being is a combination of feeling good and functioning well.
Personal growth happens when you expand your awareness and connect to your inner wisdom.
Struggling to manage stressful life situations and worries makes it difficult to find contentment in areas of your life. Often you can feel triggered by strong emotions that cause disconnection and dissatisfaction in relationships. Recognizing you are carrying unresolved burdens of your past that create barriers to living a meaningful life can help start the path to change. When you develop a stronger sense of self, feel grounded, build confidence, and be relationally connected with others, it’s possible to feel better.
Managing your struggles alone can feel overwhelming and defeating. I offer assistance in helping you to increase mental and emotional well being in a compassionate and collaborative way. Together we’ll address your presenting issues that are causing current obstacles in daily life such as anxiety, stress, executive functioning, challenging transitions, relational issues with family, partners or friends, relational trauma, perimenopause/menopausal changes, and alcohol use.
Therapeutic Specialities
Stress & Anxiety
Life stressors causing physical and emotional discomfort can be overwhelming. If you struggle with excessive worry and lack coping skills, you're not alone. Signs include negative thoughts, excessive worry, depression, sleep difficulties, tension, and irritability. It's important to recognize that ongoing stress and anxiety affect your mental and physical health. By developing healthy coping strategies, staying present, addressing challenging thoughts and feelings, honoring your values, making positive choices, and working towards your goals, you can move towards a more fulfilling life.
Relational
Feeling disconnected from loved ones can lead to solitude, conflict, and challenges in relationships. Do you notice patterns like co-dependency or a lack of personal boundaries that prevent you from connecting with others? Strong relationships are crucial for mental wellness and overall happiness. I will help you cultivate a sense of belonging both in and out of our sessions to promote healthy relationships. A trusting therapist-client relationship can promote supporting self-realization and personal growth. Together, we'll address your relational concerns, set healthy boundaries, and enhance your ability to form fulfilling connections.
Trauma
Have you been carrying unresolved wounds from past trauma that are causing present day obstacles? Fear and panic can trigger fight, flight, or freeze responses, making it hard to cope with your issues alone. This can severely impact your sense of self and several areas of your life, hindering you from having an authentic life. Through a trauma informed lens, I will help you safely connect with burdened self protecting parts keeping you suck in the past. Unburdening wounded parts can build trust within yourself, leading to healing transformation and achieved wholeness. I want to help you to move forward in your life feeling freer, lighter and with confidence to achieve personal growth.
