Experiencing a challenging time or transition in your life that makes you feel lost, alone, overwhelmed and/or insecure?

Wanting more from your life but don’t know what that is, what to do or how to start?

Feel like you are on “auto-pilot” and don’t know how to wake up?

Struggle with disordered eating patterns and/or body image issues?

Are you or a family member in the military and are struggling with issues related to military life?

If any of these apply to you, then help and support is here!

Let’s face it, life transitions can be scary, difficult and overwhelming to manage on our own.  Life transitions such as marriage, divorce, death, job loss, financial stress, growing older, relocation, parenting, illness and much more, can have us tossing and turning laying awake at night wondering what to do.  In the face of such transitions, we can feel:

• Depressed
• Unmotivated
• Purposeless and directionless
• Scared
• Helpless
• Hopeless
• Lacking in healthy self-esteem
• Low-energy
• Tuned out or disconnected
• Self-destructive
• Guilty
• Angry
• Stuck

Whether you are struggling with a life transition or recovering from disordered eating, I can help you to gain valuable insight and important coping tools and strategies to positively affect change in your life. We all need support and guidance in our lives at some time or another.  My belief is that if you could have already dealt with the issue(s) or current experience that you are struggling with, you already would have!  Yet, when life overwhelms us, our ability to find clarity, remember our inner strengths and practice healthy coping strategies seems out of reach.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect when working with me:

• A warm, safe, nurturing and non-judgmental atmosphere to express your full self and the issues you struggle with
• Relief from depression, anxiety, self-doubt, confusion and isolation
• Self-esteem restoration and feeling more confident about yourself
• Learning practical, concrete coping tools and skillful behaviors to help you solve your own problems
• Increased clarity and insight about yourself
• Earnest support in helping you to re-discover who you really are and what matters in your life
• Active and focused listening with my full attention on you
• Providing a “big picture” and other perspectives to looking at your struggles that alleviate self-blame and/or feelings of inadequacy
• Exploring your values and how to live in alignment with them
