So many people have the same complaints about therapy. Either the therapist only listens with little guidance, or you walk out feeling great, but it doesn't last. So what is it that's missing? Unfortunately, much of therapy today doesn't attack the problem at its core. Therefore, the plug is never pulled on those negative, repetitive, and destructive habits and feelings that drive us from behind the scenes. I have developed a unique, neuroscience based set of techniques to address those issues so you can be free to choose how you want to feel & behave, and live the life you truly desire.

I work with individuals through their entire perinatal journey. From trying to conceive to throughout the pregnancy and into the postpartum period. Between all the physical and hormonal changes, unsolicited advice, and all the new responsibilities that comes with caring for a tiny human, transitioning into parenthood can be overwhelming to say the least. And that's not including past traumas and/or old narratives that might be rearing their ugly head during this time and potentially interfering with who you want to be as a parent. I'm here to help you navigate this challenging time so you can feel confident in this new identity.

To those around you, it may seem as though you're doing pretty good in life. You do what you can & try to cope with the inevitable ups & downs, however, deep down you find yourself wondering, "What if I'm not doing 'life' right?", "What if I'm really not capable of all this?", "What if I'm not good enough?". You catch yourself worrying about the future & what's to come. And at other times, ruminating about the past & questioning if you've made the right choices. There are times you may fear it's all gonna come crashing down one day. That the foundation on which your life is built could be in danger of crumbling.

Why is it that we are so much harsher on ourselves than we are on others? Sometimes it’s as if our inner critic has a zero-tolerance policy for ourselves. Even when we’re hurting, our critic might jump in and say “You shouldn’t be feeling this way, suck it up.” It can be hard to manage our pain (or outright heal!) if our inner critic is ruthless and unrelenting. If it feels like your critic is beating you down, I’m here to help. Much of my experience has focused on helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, trauma, identity issues, and relationship difficulties.

I have the belief that life is a continuous learning process, and each experience has a meaning. However, our minds do not always know how to navigate everyday challenges assertively. We do not always know how to understand and unfold the present; we may have difficulty integrating the past and planning for the future. That is why we can feel stressed, frustrated, discouraged, sad, stuck, or unhappy. But the good news is that life turns into whatever color you paint it. Your experience is filtered through the lens of your perception. We can learn to change the lens through which we observe. What colors would you put in your life?

Does the past keep sneaking up on you whether that’s in the form of intrusive memories, difficult sleeping (nightmares, trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep), experiencing emotions of guilt or other overwhelming emotions that leaves you struggling for air, a constant low-grade anxiety that keeps you preoccupied, or staying constantly busy so that you can continue avoiding people, place, thoughts or situations. Maybe you keep telling yourself to put the past behind you but that doesn’t seem to work either. With trauma, you need something more even if sometimes you still question whether what you went through was traumatic.

Maybe everything on the exterior seems ok but you still feel that emptiness inside. You can’t escape that feeling of not being “good enough.” You’re chasing perfection and coming up short. You feel like a slave to everyone’s expectations of you and you don’t want to live like this anymore. Check my website for more info!
