As humans, I believe we are constantly striving to obtain our basic needs of food, shelter, safety, love and a sense of satisfaction in life. However, somewhere along the way we may create false beliefs, stories and exhibit maladaptive behaviors all with positive intention. In reality, we become further disconnected from our true selves. Have you ever turned anger towards yourself onto a loved one? Have you ever overeaten, drank, used drugs or vigorously exercised to numb an uncomfortable feeling state in your body? Have you ever blamed others for your own dissatisfaction in life? Learning to be gentle and compassionate with yourself and exploring the ways you've learned to cope, adapt and respond to the world is the first step to recovering your true self. Then, from a platform of acceptance, trust and compassion towards the self, the journey of introspection, awareness and healing begins. I will work with you collaboratively and graciously to help you obtain the skills needed to manage the difficulties that are simply a part of a rich and full life. I believe everyone is capable of obtaining their goals to live a happier, healthier and conscious existence.
