An ancient Sufi saying... "When the ego weeps for what it has lost, the spirit rejoices for what it has found." When we are confronted with fear and anxiety, it is an opportunity to find ourselves.

Welcome!

I am very passionate about helping people reach their full potential. I am eager to share all that I have learned over my many years in the helping field and through my own personal journey of self-discovery.

  • Do you suffer from depression and low self-esteem?
  • Do you have emotions that rule your life and limit your happiness?
  • Do you have unwanted habits and thought patterns you can’t seem to change?
  • Do you suffer from physical pain?
  • Do you keep choosing the wrong partner?
  • Have you tried again and again to change but without success?

You Are Not Alone!!

  • Learn to use the knowledge of the Autonomic Nervous System to make conscious changes for increased safety and connection with self and others.
  • Process early trauma through somatic approaches, IFS parts work, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness and EMDR.
  • Learn how to use the power of your mind to manage pain (both physical and mental),
  • Experience greater compassion and gratitude by knowing, loving and accepting yourself.

"There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."- Leonard Cohen


Pema Chodron Says

"It's not how we avoid uncertainty and fear, but how we relate to discomfort. Learn to lean in and provide loving kindness to ourselves instead of caving in or backing down. We can stay with painful emotions instead of spinning out."
