Establish, communicate, and maintain boundaries for healthy relationships. Take responsibility and be accountable for your contributions to success. Understanding that what you give energy to is what grows means that together we focus on growing the positive. Together we will define success and move toward it. I am committed to helping adults, couples, teens and parents improve relationships, find joy and a more peaceful way of being. Specializing in reducing anxiety and quieting that inside nagging critical voice, my ultimate purpose is to partner with you to accomplish your goals. We will work together to release negativity while simultaneously strengthening positive mindset. I am a trauma informed therapist trained in mindfulness meditation and offer relaxation techniques to help reduce anxiety and increase contentment. You can make significant and lasting improvements in your life right now. You have many strengths and we will explore together what tools, habits and abilities you already possess and which you need help to develop. Here are some of things we can do together: -come to understand how your thoughts and beliefs affect how you feel and ultimately your behaviors. -become better equipped to have positive interactions with others. -quickly begin to make positive lasting changes that can dramatically improve your relationships, careers, health, and finances.
