Struggling and Irritated?
You might look like you have it together on the outside but inside your mind can feel like a mess. Overthinking, constant mental noise, or relationship struggles are quietly taking a toll.
​​
I work with adults and couples who are curious about how to build skills that will help them break old patterns and create effective change.
Ready to learn how your mind works so you can do something to break out of old patterns and make the change you want?
People I work with might experience;

Too much mental noise

Plenty of thinking, but not a lot of action
-
Feeling unsatisfied with life
-
Trouble resting and being 'unproductive'
-
Not sure what to do next, just know what you are doing isn't working

Talking about what happens in your head makes you uncomfortable and you'd rather not, but it's gotten bad enough that you're willing to do something about it​
With Others

Trouble feeling connected to others
-
Patterns of avoiding conflict, withdrawing, or shutting down
-
Difficulty expressing thoughts and needs
-
Trouble picking the 'right' dialogue options​
-
Get told you are too cold, distant, or not understanding

Keep having the same arguments with your partner without resolution

Feel like you are a 'Head-Thinker' trying to talk to a 'Heart-Thinker' and it's not working
"I should be able to handle this on my own"
Says who? Who taught you how to? Anybody?
This stuff isn't innate. We aren't born knowing. But we can learn.
