Womens Counseling and Life Coaching

If you are being treated for Anxiety or Depression and are having associated symptoms, get the help you need. Studies have shown medication is more effective with counseling.  I would like to help you.  As a woman who has experienced a great deal, I understand.  We will form a team together, working to decrease your stress, increase your coping skills, find limiting beliefs and work towards the increasing life satisfaction. We will follow an approach in a way that works best for you, your personality and life. I will help you move from “maybe” or “I don’t know” to “Yes, I can”. Don’t wait another day.

“If you are having difficulty in some part of your life, whether it’s personal or business related, taking a few minutes to still yourself and just focus on deep breathing can be enough to get you through the initial stresses of the situation. The key is stillness and deep breathing,(deep diaphragmatic breathing for 90 seconds changes brain chemistry) a moment of being completely present and mindful of the passage of time in your life. (Is this something you will remember in a year from now?)”
