Are your thoughts keeping you up at night? 

Does your mind ruminate all day without your permission? 

Do you find yourself living a life of fear? 

Always wondering if you are or have done the "right" thing? 

If you can relate to this or are feeling anxious tension in your body, there are skills to manage these symptoms. Mindset and mindfulness can teach you how to pivot from a life on auto pilot to one you don't miss out on. 

When it comes to treating anxiety, research shows that therapy is the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy treats more than just symptoms of the problem. 

Often, these are the symptoms of anxiety and panic:

Nervousness, restlessness, or tension in the body

Feelings of danger, panic, or dread

Doubting your worth

Ruminating thoughts you can't control 

Rapid breathing or hyperventilation

Increased or heavy sweating

Trembling or muscle twitching

Weakness or lethargy

Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about

Fearing judgment from others

Rethinking a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past

Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills. 

Yoga for Anxiety

By encouraging relaxation, reducing stress, and promoting self-awareness, yoga helps individuals develop a stronger mind-body connection. The practice of yoga not only eases physical tension but also calms the mind, providing a sense of inner peace and balance. As a result, it can be a highly effective for anxiety, offering individuals a path to tranquility and improved mental health.

“Anxiety, the illness of our time, comes primarily from our inability to dwell in the present moment.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Do you often feel awkward and self-conscious in social settings? Do you go over and over what you said and how you really wanted to say it? Do you worry about what others think of you? Are you constantly comparing yourself to others and finding you never measure up? 

Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.

Perfectionism, while often mistaken for a noble pursuit of excellence, can be a relentless adversary to self-esteem. It's like a shadow that creeps silently into your life, casting doubt upon your accomplishments, making you feel inadequate, and pushing you toward an unattainable standard. This pursuit of perfection can strip away the very essence of your self-worth, leaving you feeling chronically dissatisfied.

Negative self-talk becomes the weapon perfectionism wields against your self-esteem. Your inner critic whispers damaging thoughts: "You're not good enough," "You should have done better," "You'll never measure up." The constant barrage of self-criticism erodes your confidence and joy.

Regardless of how low self-esteem manifests, the results are always the same:

Inability to say "no"

Difficulty setting boundaries

Depression and anxiety

Lack of joy in life

Anger, guilt, sadness

Self-doubt

People pleasing

Difficulty celebrating successes

Fear failure

Loneliness

Overly critical of self and others

Isolation

Eating issues

Codependency

Self abuse

Treatment for Low Self-Esteem

The good news is that self-esteem is something that can be changed by healing trauma, changing your beliefs, behavior and how you think about and treat yourself. Having said this, most people developed their self-esteem issues in childhood and have been living with low self-esteem for a very long time. For this reason, it is advised that they seek the guidance of a trained therapist.

Having a knowledgeable and supportive therapist in your corner can help you develop a healthier and more realistic sense of self. I will help you connect the dots in your life, discover where your low self-esteem came from, and provide tools so you can absolve your negative beliefs and critical self-talk and replace them with self-love and self-compassion.

If you suffer from low self-esteem and would like to explore treatment options, please reach out to me.

Life Transitions

Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce, or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?

There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused, and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.

Change Can be Beneficial

Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted nor expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our families, and our communities. It is in those most uncomfortable places that we grow the most. 

Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:

Moving away to college

Adjusting to your first professional job or changing careers

Getting married

Having a new baby

Empty nesting syndrome

Breakup, separation, or divorce

Infidelity recovery

Retirement

Job loss or dissatisfaction

Relocation

Financial gain/loss

Serious illness or disability

Issues pertaining to aging

Death of a loved one

Questioning the meaning of life

Questioning your faith/spirituality

Questioning your sexual/gender identity

Is it Time to Speak to Someone?

Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. I’m here to lend that helping hand and offer a warm and encouraging environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance. 

If you or someone you love is struggling with a life transition and would like to explore treatment options, please be in touch. You don’t need to struggle alone.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is a way of being that brings you into the present moment, improves your self awareness, helps to manage mental health, aids in the process of healing, and promotes meaningful relationships.

Skills of mindfulness are taught in exercises, mindset, and through having a professional bring you into awareness of yourself. In addition, mindfulness practices, especially relational ones, can contribute to the development of spiritual qualities, such as transcendence, boundlessness, ultimacy, and interconnectedness. Several recent studies suggest that meditation/mindfulness interventions may be explained and or enhanced by an emphasis on spiritual components.

Some issues that indicate mindfulness is needed are:

Depression and anxiety

Destructive patterns 

Low self esteem

Living in the future or past 

Feeling stuck

Disconnection from the body

Relationship problems

Loneliness

Negative self talk

Inability to cope with emotions

Mindfulness observations help people separate themselves from their thoughts and moods, and teaches them how to recognize their sense of being. It also aims to give participants the necessary tools to combat depressive or anxious symptoms as they arise. Techniques you learn can empower you to manage you emotions and bring increased emotional intelligence. 

Evidence indicates that mindfulness-based therapy may reduce the rate of depressive relapse by 50%. If you or someone you know may benefit from mindfulness, please contact me today. I would be happy to speak with you about how I can empower you.

Men’s Issues

Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? 

Do you wish you had someone to talk to but fear asking for help will appear weak? 

Are you feeling lost and uncertain about the way your life is going?

Are your relationships failing?

Recognizing Symptoms of Men's Mental Health Challenges

From societal expectations and cultural pressures to gender roles and stereotypes, men often find themselves grappling with various issues that can significantly impact their well-being. Culture plays a pivotal role in shaping our beliefs, values, and behaviors. Unfortunately, certain cultural norms and expectations can create barriers for men, hindering their emotional expression and overall mental health. This results in them bottling up their emotions, which often leads to a manifestation of a physical disease or illness, such as high blood pressure or heart disease. Society often imposes rigid standards of masculinity, which discourage vulnerability, emotional openness, and seeking help. As a result, many men suffer in silence, deprived of connection and struggling with mental health concerns that go unrecognized and untreated. 

Common signs of mental health challenges in men include:

Persistent stress and pressure leading to burnout

Anxiety and depression presenting as frustration

Career or unemployment stress

Substance use and poor coping skills

Relationship and communication difficulties

Suicidal thoughts

Anger management and/or ignoring emotions

Self-esteem and body image 

Benefits of Therapy for Men

Therapy plays a crucial role in addressing and improving men's mental health issues. By providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, therapy offers a valuable opportunity for men to develop a deeper understanding of themselves. It encourages them to confront societal expectations and harmful stereotypes that may contribute to their mental health struggles. Therapeutic interventions equip men with essential coping strategies, communication skills, and emotional regulation techniques, enabling them to effectively manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Moreover, therapy fosters self-reflection and personal growth, helping men develop healthier perspectives, establish meaningful relationships, and cultivate a stronger sense of well-being. Overall, therapy serves as a transformative tool that empowers men to prioritize their mental health and live more fulfilling lives.

Trauma Therapy

Are you wondering if what you're going through is a sign of trauma? Do you have intrusive thoughts? Do you feel chronic despair? Confused why your life is not easier? 

You're not alone. Trauma affects many individuals, manifesting in various symptoms that can impact your daily life. Sometimes what is traumatic is clear, and, sometimes the need to heal from trauma can be elusive. It is very possible that you have had trauma and do not know it consciously. This sometimes takes place in childhood, when how we grew up was just "normal," because it was all we knew. It's not until adulthood that we experience the symptoms. 

Often, these are the symptoms of hidden or forgotten trauma:

Patterns of poor relationships

Ability to tolerate more than we should

Fantasy is better than reality

Self-medicating, avoiding, escaping reality

Distrust in others and self

Treating your body poorly: over or under eating, promiscuity, not tending to health and wellbeing

Blame self and others resulting in consistent frustration  

Tolerating bad relationships at work, home, or with family

Black and white, all or nothing thinking

Pattern of hiding yourself or not being honest

Chronic difficulty

Often, these are the symptoms of a traumatic event(s):

Intense feelings of distress when reminded of past events?

Avoiding situations or places that remind you of past trauma

Persistent sense of fear, anger, sadness, or guilt and don't know why

Nightmares or flashbacks about the event

Feelings of detachment or isolation from others

Is it challenging for you to concentrate or remember important aspects of the traumatic event?

Easily startled or always on edge

If these experiences feel familiar, it might be time to consider the possibility of therapy. Recognizing these symptoms is the first step towards healing.

Healing from Trauma

The journey from recognizing trauma to healing is deeply personal and filled with confusion. Trauma can be complex, affecting your mind, body, emotions, and spirit, but trauma recovery is possible. Some proven methods that have helped many individuals find their path to healing are yoga, theater, mindfulness, and therapy. I am a therapist to combines yoga, spirituality, mindfulness, and evidence based practices to help heal trauma. 

Embrace Change and Trust in Trauma Recovery

Embarking on this journey requires courage and a willingness to embrace change. Healing from trauma is not a linear process; it's more like a spiral. But with each opportunity, you process the meaning of trauma in a different way, working you to wholeness. You don't have to navigate this path alone. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. My clients have experienced life changing transformation by doing trauma work. I am honored to be a part of peoples lives in such meaningful ways.

Relationship Foundations

Contemplating marriage?

Did you just get engaged?!

Do you want to ensure your partner(s) is the right one?

Our culture has taught us that finding a mate is made in the stars and left to destiny. We spend more time and energy in getting a college degree, building a business, or crafting the life we want than we do in developing our intimate relationships. Choosing a mate no longer has to be left to wishful thinking. There are methods to learning about and choosing a life partner. 

Premarital Therapy can help you and your significant other or others improve your relationship by helping you develop better communication skills, learn conflict management, uncover your shared core values as well as identify differences that could create future conflict. In working with me you will discuss expectations with your partner that will help better prepare both of you for commitment to each other.

So if these sound like you…

You want to know more about each other but do not know how to deepen your connection 

You and your partner have arguments that don't get resolved

You feel like you're always the one who has to compromise to keep the peace

You're concerned about how your partner's financial situation will affect you as a married couple

You're worried about losing affection or having a diminished sex life after marriage

You want to add another significant lover to your marriage

You want to find healthier ways to resolve conflict

You wonder if this is the right person for you or if your values conflict

You want to define your marital roles and expectations

…Then premarital Therapy can be a great benefit to both you and your partner.

The intimate nature of marriage, requires you to be vulnerable and allow your partner to see your internal world, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable. Premarital Therapy will help you learn how to be a better listener, and how to make your voice and your needs be heard in a productive and positive manner.

Premarital Therapy will also show you how to handle conflict in your marriage. When you live with someone, you will have arguments ranging from the very mundane to more serious issues. How you argue will be a part of the story of how you are as a couple. Learn how to de-escalate arguments and how to fight fairly, so you don't cause emotional pain from things you say and do. 

In pre-marital therapy, we will likely bring up topics that you've discussed with your partner previously, as well as subjects you hadn't considered before. This fresh perspective from an objective third party will uncover new details from your partner. This is also an excellent time for us to find unexpected areas where you disagree, and give you the tools to handle possible future conflict.

Moving in or getting married is one of life's most treasured experiences. Premarital Therapy can help you and your partner turn that momentous occasion into a loving, lasting relationship. For guidance and support to strengthen your future commitment, please contact me today so we can schedule an appointment.

Give your relationship a fighting chance by building a solid foundation from the beginning. 

Couples Therapy

Do you feel like your relationship has lost the spark? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?

All things can be improved, changed, and bettered with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, and get what you want out of your relationship.

Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:

Sex Empowerment Coaching

Do you want more?

Are you stuck in a sexless marriage?

Do you and your partner have mismatched sexual desires?

Do you feel disconnected?

Struggling with erectile disfunction?

Or maybe you want to spice up your love life, but your partner isn’t interested or you don't know how? 

If sexual issues are preventing true closeness between you and your partner, you may want to consider sex empowerment coaching.

How does Sex Coaching work?

As a sexual empowerment coach, I focus on the physical and emotional relationship between people, then identify their attitudes about sex and the sexual blocks. We will unpack sexual beliefs you have internalized from your life experience and get you moving towards a pleasurable life in and out of the bedroom!

Specific objectives may include the following:

How to communicate in your partners sexual language. Increasing the trust in your relationship. Exploring what turns you on. How to orgasm How to say no. How to say YES! Learning to eliminate distractions and relax. Learning to communicate what you’d like in an empowered way. Increasing or enhancing sexual stimulation. Minimizing pain during intercourse. Understanding consent. Understanding your body and your partners. Explore safe power play. Allowing yourself to feel pleasure!

If you’d like to explore sex, I want you to know that you aren’t alone in wanting more and that I can help. I work diligently to reshape shame, trauma, fear, and guilt in relation to sex.  

If you have previous sexual trauma that has not been addressed in therapy, I may suggest that you have individual sessions before proceeding with your partner(s).

Please contact me today to see if we are a good fit ;)
