Sorry I have been MIA lately. Lots of things going on in RL. Been going loads of places, I'm kicking this anxiety in the a**. Yesterday, my kids, husband and I went to a huge event at a park where there were tons of people and I only got a little bit anxious at the end, after we had been there for a few hours. Acupuncture has been working wonders for me. I only go once a month now. I'm still doing my Progressive muscle relaxation every morning with my affirmations (I am safe wherever I go, I can do whatever I want) so when I have to walk by myself, I can say those and tamp down the anxiety when my husband isn't around. speaking of walking, I am now making it to the end of my street again when the girls are walking home from school without feeling anxious. AND on my big practice walks I have made it almost all the way to the school. I have only half a block to conquer and it gets harder the closer I get, but I just keep going one sidewalk square at a time closer every day or so. It feels so good to know what is the anxiety now and what isn't so I can tell my doctor. I'm still having a lot of pressure in one of my ears everyday, and the ringing is getting worse, and I found out recently my grandmother had some sort of hereditary hearing loss… So I'm really hoping that is not what that is. Also the tingling- there's the anxiety tingling, and then theres this other more painful tingling that I get whenever I sit a certain way or I move in a certain way. It makes exercise hard because if I do too much I spend the whole next day feeling tingly and that isn't right. Because exercise (cardio) is supposed to help, not make it worse so the conclusion I have come to since it's happened repeatedly is it's not anxiety related at all. *sigh* but I won't even begin to have any answers for this till Mid may it's hard to wait because I want to know now. Anyway- more baby steps. But things are finally starting to look up! Yay!

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

My approach to counseling is that each individual has the potential within them to accomplish anything. My job is to help you realize that potential and to make peace with the issues that you face. Notice I never said anything about “getting over” what you have going on, because I believe that there are some things that make that impossible. But, I believe that if you are willing to work with me to achieve your goals, you can achieve the recovery you truly want
My journey to the present day has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve worked in the mental health field since graduating with my Master’s Degree in 2007. I’ve worked with many different populations in many different settings. Most recently I have been working with clients who desired to end their lives, or who were too sick to go about their daily lives. I’ve also supervised others, taught at a college level, and made presentations to other professionals. In the real world, I’ve worked in the medical field, customer service, and I’ve owned my own business. I believe this varied experience allows me to be more emphatic as well as take a more common sense approach to treatment.
I invite you to take a step toward something difficult and do something that is good for you. You always have the opportunity to go back to the way things were; that isn’t challenging in the least.
Great Job!
Congratulations!!! So happy to hear you are doing well. Keep up the good work!!!
