Change is hard.  Through 20 years of engaging in my own personal journey through change and growth, I have come to believe several things. 
 
First, trauma resolution is vital and one of the first steps to change.  Our brain responds to traumatic events in our lives by developing protective, pain-avoidant measures that often hinder our ability to heal.  This is why we so often know exactly what we need to do and have no ability to carry it out.  
 
Secondly, I believe that emotional wholeness is vital to change.  Feelings are not four-letter words to be judged or dismissed as weakness.  They are an integral part of our experience of ourselves, and they deserve respect.  They are meant to be felt and released. Therefore, I believe that change requires learning to allow all our emotions and the emotions of our loved ones without judgment or suppression.  Once we start listening to our emotions in addition to our reason and intellect, we are equipped and empowered to make decisions that are consistently aligned with our values, beliefs and highest good.  
 
Finally, I believe that we change best in relationship, and a relationship with a therapist is a great place to start.  I utilize ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), SE (Somatic Experiencing), and RLT (Relational Life Therapy) to help you learn to feel again, reconnect with your highest self, and heal the traumas in your life. Once reconnected; we are empowered to learn to feel good, heal from past challenges and losses, ease anxiety, move THROUGH life’s valleys, and into genuinely loving relationships.
 
I am comfortable being uncomfortable beside you because this is what change requires. I won’t lie to you: the path will be tough at first.  But it will get easier.  I will celebrate each step with you and help you to keep going no matter how slow or small the progress. You can feel happy, confident, and at peace.  You can like and respect the person you see in the mirror. All you need is the courage to start.
