ANXIETY THERAPY

I cannot adequately describe the pain and frustration that comes alongside living with heightened states of anxiety which at times can consume your life where you "worry about anything and everything."

Anxiety, is the most prevalent mental health condition in America affecting as many as 40 million adults and teens. Anxiety manifests in the form of unpleasant intrusive thoughts and physical symptoms.

Fortunately, anxiety challenges are treatable when addressed with effective treatment. If anxiety is controlling your mind, body and emotions?  I am here for you and believe in your ability to create a fulfilling life grounded in meaning and purpose.

I will partner with you to disempower anxiety. As stated, I use cutting-edge  evidence-based treatment that intersect with age old healing traditions. Including Solutions-Focused, Narrative, CBT, modified DBT, IFS, Mindfulness, Shadow-Parts, Breath-work, Somatic Experiencing and Taoism. 

Mindfulness Energy Healing reduces overthinking, stress, tension and anxiety and restores calm, relaxed focus and promotes balance of the body's energy flow.

Mindfulness breath-work has been proven to be particularly powerful. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) breath-work calms the racing mind as well as reduces anxiety, restlessness, sleep problems, and the feeling of being on edge, fears and worries go away.

Choose the process of being grounded in positive emotions honoring a calm mind, body and spirit connection by doing this work. I can help you get there.

When we perceive threats where none exist, our survival system—fight, flight, freeze, or hide—activates. While this system demonstrates remarkable resilience and, not conducive to achieving freedom, purpose, peace of mind, or healthy relationships. 

Research highlights that living in a heightened emotional state triggers our primitive brain, leading to panic, distorted thoughts, and reactions that can damage relationships and leave us feeling exhausted.

The subconscious mind holds onto pain and trauma, embedding them in our muscles, bones, cells, particles and tissues.

By addressing these stored wounds through energy healing and shadow work, we begin to shift how we identity and experience our stories, allowing us to transmute old patterns and step more fully into our authentic selves.
 As Bessel Van Der Kolk, MD, says in 

“The Body Keeps the Score," healing involves tending to these deep-seated wounds, ultimately leading to greater emotional freedom and balance.

"Instead of allowing your hardships to define, exhaust or discourage you learn from them be inspired and soar"                                                                                                Michelle Obama

Emotional freedom is releasing the baggage of the past, it’s very hard to engage the process of shedding the shadow parts of ourselves. 

We will focus on clearing and letting go of past betrayals, mistakes, and traumas, as well as old habits, negative childhood messages, and limiting beliefs. Our approach involves exploring mental habits that hinder success and progress, and addressing the root causes of the challenges in our relationship with ourselves. These challenges may stem from stored emotions in the subconscious mind, often linked to shadow aspects that need to be brought into conscious awareness. Through this process, you will experience a profound and transformative healing journey over time.

We will return to the place where we first begun and we will know it for the first time."      T.S. Elliot

"If your story is anything like mine, you're on a path of intentional positive change.
I once faced blocked energy, childhood trauma, toxic relationships, and self-defeating choices. Chronic fatigue, self-doubt, depression, anger, anxiety, grief, and loneliness were part of my daily life.
I was surviving, not thriving. Then, I began repeating the mantra, 'I am willing to change.'

I sought therapy, read books, attended healing retreats, group therapy, seminars, spiritual ceremonies, and rituals. I worked with Babalowos, Priestesses, Shamans, and other indigenous healers. Through this journey, I experienced a new sense of freedom, happiness, joy, and excitement for life.

That was over 35 years ago, and today, my purpose is to provide you with healthy tools, coping skills, techniques, and strategies to help you evolve in your unique way.
You are the expert of your life, and I will partner with you to address the patterns that interfere with your happiness. Let's move forward together.
