“The real work we have to do is in the privacy of our own hearts. ”
Things you may be experiencing …
(or are having issue with…)
Addiction
Addiction does not always look the way we think it will, and it doesn't always feel the way we expect it to. Often people are not aware that addiction doesn't always strip us of everything and everyone we love but instead just numbs us to the true joy that is part of this life. There are many approaches to healing addictive lifestyles and tendencies, and everyone has their individual path that I am versed in exploring.
Young Adults
Growing up isn't easy, and if you feel you're struggling to achieve the playbook of how to "adult "correctly- you're not the only one! Feeling lost or unsure of what the next steps are for you to embrace your life fully is a difficult experience! I have helped many find their way in getting to know themselves better and through the process, they have found feelings of more control and stability in their direction and life choices.
Men’s Issues
Learning how to balance the masculine and feminine parts of self is challenging for most humans in this world. When we are out of alignment in these areas we often experience symptoms that ripple through our lives and impact our relationships with ourselves and others. Whether it’s anger, sadness, or blandness that seems to be prevalent, when we are in balance we know the truth about who we are and what we're capable of.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a full-time job, and nobody can do it but you! Don't worry it's not all monasteries and incense, you don't even have to be a Buddhist to appreciate the benefits of breath work and awareness. Most of us are so busy these days that we don't remember the last time we took five minutes to sit and check in with ourselves. With practice and instruction, you can find the time and understand the importance of the tools and benefits of learning more about yourself in just a few breaths.
Codependency
Being loving and caring for others is a good thing right?! The answer is yes... and no. The truth is we have to align with our internal values for ourselves and learn how to care for others in our lives while "keeping our cup full"-so to speak. Our subconscious patterns inform how we interact with others and can often lead to feeling responsible for making others happy while sacrificing what we may be wanting or need for ourselves. If this is something you find yourself doing-Its ok! There is a way to heal and find a way to be happy without the need for external validation!
Often we find ourselves in the midst of great change, the grief that can accompany these situations can be more than we know how to bear on our own. Most of us have not been taught how to grieve or have not been allowed to…the effects of not knowing how to mourn the loss of something or someone can detrimental to our health and our well-being. Feeling trapped in this place without a way out is more painful than it has to be If you or someone you know is in this level of pain please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Griefwork
Anxiety just sucks, whether it’s that low-level hum that keeps you from being at peace or a crippling pit in your stomach that your mind has teamed up with to immobilize you from accomplishing much if anything. Through developing connections with our body we can often find out how to work with these feelings and thoughts and the connections they have created in the body that have compounded the problems we experience.
Anxiety
“The grief and sense of loss, that we often interpret as a failure in our personality, is actually a feeling of emptiness where and beautiful and strange otherness should have been encountered.”
— Paul Shepard
