Introduction

Why do I always say "yes" when I want to say "no"? How come my thoughts are so negative and I assume the worst in people? Why am I so negative about myself but not others? Why do I keep making the same mistake over and over again? Sometimes despite having some awareness of challenges you face, effecting change and improving your quality of life hasn't been successful. Trying to understand yourself or loved ones has been an uphill battle for you. Positivity, peace, congruence, confidence are all things you seek and you yearn for a path to be your most authentic self without fear of rejection. I am a champion for purposeful meaningful relationships. I believe we all have a responsibility in choosing how we communicate and behave in those relationships. I have experienced how the power of communication can heal even the most distant of relationships. I work with adults individually & couples. Areas of focus include anxiety, burnout, depression, communication skills, leadership skills, personal growth, relationship growth, college mental health, family conflict. Reaching out for help can be a scary step to take. I offer a free 15 minute consultation for you to get to know me, for me to learn a little of what you'd like some help with & to see if the fit is right for us both. No pressure, no obligation to continue. I will offer referrals if the fit isn't right and upon request. EAPs: Spring Health I accept insurance through Octave Behavioral Health to CA client's only. Please contact them directly to inquire.
