Practice information:

Clients describe me as straightforward and kind while being practical, effective and patient.

I want you to feel better. In fact the comment I hear from mosts clients I begin to work with is "I feel so much better than when I came in."
If you have been living in suffering but have not quite figured out what is going on, perhaps one of the real life descriptions below resonates with you.

Is your heart racing? Are you feeling outside of your body? Is your stomach is in knots?
You may be experiencing anxiety or panic.

Do you wake up feeling exhausted? Is everything all or nothing? Are you alternating between crying, feeling angry or agitated?
You may be depressed or be living with trauma.

Have you started relationships feeling positive only to end up in the same unhealthy situation?
You may be repeated unhealthy patterns learned when you were little.

Have you committed to losing weight and gaining fitness only to find yourself eating out of loneliness, boredom or emotional pain?
You may be an emotional eater.

Does it seem like people in your personal and professional life bully or push you around leaving you silently resentful or resulting in angry outbursts?
You may not understand how to create boundaries.

Do you lose your nerve in practice and undermine your success, or feel great going in to a competition but psyche yourself out?
