Dream Big

My story: Let me be honest: my teenage and early adult years were turbulent! Despite seeking help from psychotherapists, a decision that significantly improved my life, I was still wrestling with my identity, people-pleasing behaviors, and disordered eating due to a lack of self-confidence (authenticity). However, I held on to the belief that life could be better and that there was undoubtedly a way to have more inner peace, self-love, confidence, and joy as well as more genuine relationships with others. And then, it happened.

And I am going to tell you how….

Fast forward a bunch of years: I have distilled 30+ years of personal, clinical, anecdotal, and academic experience to help clients transform their lives more quickly. I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a Ph.D in Marriage & Family Therapy (DMFT). I am also a mother of two and two spoiled labrador retrievers, Otis & Lily. I approach personal growth with a deep understanding and respect for generational patterns. I am also a firm believer in the power of meditation to break harmful patterns and the belief systems that uphold them. Understanding the purpose of emotions (emotion = energy in motion) and how to use them effectively is also crucial to creating a joyful life. I have found that a spiritual but not religious approach helps make sense of it all and will help you create the life you deserve.

The bottom line: We're all players in the game of life, yet many of us are unaware of this and the rules for success. Our challenges, whether we are slaying metaphorical dragons or climbing metaphorical mountains, are all important to discovering our purpose. Once you become aware of this, your journey will begin, leading you to a place of inner peace, purpose, and joy. But remember, this journey requires more than just awareness. It demands courage, tools, a sense of humor, and a plan. The universe is ready for your bold steps. So, as I often say….game on 🎯
