i hate everything but i love as well. i’m so unhappy. i’m tired. i’m exhausted. i don’t want to fight anymore. i’ve been through these runts all my life but the deep sense of isolation i’m feeling right now is overbearing. i’ve finally gotten diagnosed with something other than depression. borderline personality disorder and social anxiety. i have no idea what bpd. my wait has fluctuated. i got prescribed prozac to help with the depression but also bulimia. is it wrong that i’m not taking it because i don’t want my bulimia to end? it’s comforting knowing i can eat as much as i want and not gain a single pound. it’s the only thing in my life right now that i can control. my family makes me upset, specifically my mom. she will be nice to me for a week and then suddenly blow up and forget our talks about how the words she says to me affects me and makes me feel like a mistake. the suicidal thoughts have been really prominent lately. too constant to even pretend. the pretending has become extremely lazy. it’s very apparent that i’m not okay. i relapsed last night. found a razor and did the deed. i don’t know what’s wrong with me. i’m tired. i’m sad. i’m unhappy. i’m just, not fulfilled and can’t see a future where i am. i’m temporarily happy when i’m doing someone for others but this always ends up getting me taken advantage of and it hurts even more. i feel like the world would be okay if i wasn’t here and maybe i would be better off that way too. i really don’t know. i’m just very sad. too sad to finish my thoughts. too sad to finish this rambling of whatever it is i’m even saying. i hope my insomnia gives me a break tonight, god knows i need it.

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.
"Everyday is about becoming"
I believe that going through a process of self-reflection and change is powerful and brave. It helps us identify how we are getting in our own way in having a better quality of life. In responsibility their is power. Everyone wants to feel content and satisfied with themselves and the world they build around them but we struggle to achieve this goal because we have been hurt, disappointed, betrayed, or doubt ourselves. Find your personal power and change your world. I am with you.

Welcome! It is my belief that it is normal in our lives to feel conflict, sadness, anger, or distress. It’s when these feelings and behaviors start to impact our lives in a negative way that we may need extra support in sorting through what it means. Counseling is not about me telling you what to do, but instead, joining you on your journey and guiding you in your discoveries to what solutions or outcome is best suited for you. I offer a judgement and bias free supportive environment to help you reach your best you.
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.
