We humans are blessed with big brains, but overthinking causes suffering. It is natural to be anxious or worried at times. Past experiences can overwhelm our system and drag us down. The unknowable future can be frightening too. Life may become very uncomfortable! Without effective coping skills, we run the risk of developing self-sabotaging habits that address our discomfort only in the short term. Habits like avoiding situations, abusing drugs/alcohol/gaming/food/relationships prolong our discomfort! You could spend a lifetime yearning for ease while change is possible. All ages struggle with discomfort and seek relief.

My clients enjoy long-lasting change thanks to wholehearted, mutual commitment to therapy. An EMDRia-Certified provider of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I offer this and other evidence-based therapies for the treatment of anxiety/stress, anger, trauma, sex abuse, low self-esteem, and depression for clients 15 years and up.

It is not easy being human, but you and I--and all humanity--are in this together. You do not suffer alone!  Research bears out that we humans are social creatures who do better when we reach out. I invite you and your children to join with me in your wellness project. --May you be healthy, happy, and may you love yourself just as you are.
