Breathe. You can do this. You can get through it. Just breathe. Breathe through the tears, through the pain. Why? Why doesit have to hurt so bad? Why do I get so upset. I am upset. I'm crying. I'm irratated. You don't get to pick and choose which parts of me you like. I'm not a science experiment to be dissected and distributed. I am me and if some aspect of myself, like my disease, doesn't fit your idea of what I should be like then fcuk you. I don't need someone constantly telling me that I need to get better, as if I wasn't working at it every single damn day. I will never be better by your standards. You want perfection not the beautiful messy imperfect me. I AM a friggin mess but if you can't handle the bad then I don't want you there for the good. You keep blaming me and I blame you, it's all just a waste of my time. No you will not talk to me later because I don't want to talk to you. I just want you out of my life! I want you to make a clean break. YOU choose to leave me so fcukin LEAVE! STOP straddling the fence and saying things like you have feelings for me and you never left me. YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE IT BOTH WAYS YOU LEFT! YOU didn't come home one night after work, YOU didn't talk to me for 3 days and didn't have the guts to even tell me it was over! YOU ARE FCUKING WITH MY HEAD! JUST STOP! God I wish I could just tell you off but you barely let me talk. When I do talk you always have a way of dismissing me. It's so frustrating! You are either with me or not. You don't get to pick to only be there for the parts you like. This isn't a movie, it's my life. End rant.

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).

Life has thrown all of us a lot of curveballs in the past 6 months. Everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their life, and people decide to start therapy for different reasons. You might be feeling sad, irritable, overwhelmed, or worried. I believe that in order to find healing from the distress we are experiencing, we need to find connection and purpose. In therapy, I strive to help clients find ways to find safe, healing connection and ways of being known. No matter what we have experienced in our lives, feeling and being known in a relationship helps unlocks doors to infinitely more possibilities. I offer a free phone consultation to discover if I am a good fit for you and what you might hope to gain from therapy.

Therapy means "change"...change for the betterment of life and relationships you deeply care about. Your individual and family life change and relational healing is possible, even though you may think healing would be impossible. One major emphasis is that your time spent with us is YOUR time.

The idea of going to therapy can be scary. Choosing a therapist is overwhelming. Calling that therapist is intimidating.
Please understand that you are not alone in feeling scared, overwhelmed, and intimidated. But considering therapy does not mean that there is something wrong with you. Therapy is not for “bad” people or “crazy” people. Therapy is for people who want help sorting through the confusing thoughts and beliefs that they have. If you are afraid of what people think about you, fear that you are unlovable/bad, or are afraid that you might not be good enough, please consider calling me.
