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.

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.

I appreciate that it can be challenging to find a therapist. I encourage you to shop around, read profiles, visit websites, and have initial sessions with a couple of providers to find someone who you can really talk to and be open with. We all have different styles and vibes and ways of talking and that's a good thing, hopefully we're all well trained as well but I encourage you to inquire if our training and credentials are confusing or not obvious.
In therapy I will be someone who challenges you. I might interrupt you at times if your thinking seems off. I will encourage you to feel and exercise and be honest with yourself and the people you love. Therapy will be challenging. Hopefully you will be thoughtful about the process and interested in making changes. I'm here to help you become the person who you want to be and love the person who you are.
When you experience trauma or stressful life situation, it is not uncommon for your life to feel out of control.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance to help you know yourself better or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Not sure exactly what you’re struggling with because there’s only a title. But I have perfectionism and I constantly feel like a failure, whether it’s because I didn’t finish my entire to-do list, or I’m not friends with someone, or I’m fighting with my parents, or Idk, I feel like a bad friend or something. It’s torture. I constantly hate myself. I constantly feel like giving up, because even though I know I don’t need to be perfect right now, I feel like if I’m not, someone is going to die, or people won’t like me and I’ll be ALONE, which is my worst fear.
Anyone else?

My worst fear is not being able to breathe.
I am allergic to a spice that if I smell it, eat it or am in a room where someone has cooked with it or put it in a hot drink……… my throat closes shut and I risk death by not breathing.
I wake up with vivid dreams gasping for breath.
The covid mask wearing working for me because I when to wear a mask in public anyway with the severe spice allergy!
