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 can impact your mental and physical health. How well do you know your nervous system? I will help you to connect your mind and body to manage your symptoms, develop healthy coping strategies, address challenging thoughts and feelings, honoring your values, make positive choices, and work towards your personal goals to move towards a more meaningful life.
Relational
Feeling disconnected from loved ones can lead to solitude, conflict, and challenges in relationships. Do you notice a pattern of attachment that leads to 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
Carrying unresolved wounds from past trauma can show up as present day obstacles without you knowing it. Fears and panic can trigger fight, flight, or freeze responses in your nervous system, making it hard to cope with your issues. 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.
