I've worked with many clients with extreme burnout born from emotional and or physical and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. When you feel overwhelmed, tensions mount until you feel emotionally drained. Generally you feel you can't keep up with the demands coming at you. This is completely understandable. Our work is to increase awareness so you can implement self-care strategies, begin setting boundaries, and progressively create space to heal.

Feeling depressed is awful. I’ve helped lots of people understand what’s going on by learning to be more aware of habitual thoughts and or gaining insight from the past. Together we'll work your way out of feeling sad and the loss of interest. You may feel down because negative self-talk is undermining your energy and good feeling. For years, I've had great success helping folks increase awareness, an essential jumping off point to begin changing moods and habits that bring you down.

Anxiety is characterized by fear, often a cascade of scary thoughts, uneasiness, worry, trouble concentrating, irritability, and more. It's useful to pay attention to what you're saying to yourself as well as what you feel in your body. Grounding your thinking in what is happening right now can build calm. Understanding how you are treating yourself is important so you can decrease the negative self-talk and 'what ifs', and work towards building a kind, internal refuge.

As coach, I'll partner with you in a thought-provoking and creative process that will inspire you to maximize your personal and professional potential. This work is about increasing awareness and gaining insight. You can use this new information to intentionally make behavior change that leads to your goals and wished for outcomes.

With CBT, I help you become aware of habitual, unproductive thought patterns. These are distortions that lead us to anxiety, worry, suffering, and depression until we gain awareness. By noticing and then progressively changing our thoughts, we can change our feelings and ultimately how we behave. Thoughts impact feelings which then influence how we act. As we learn to stop, question, and gain control over negative thought patterns, we can change how we feel and the result is better outcomes.

Mindfulness is being aware of and noticing your thoughts and feelings, as well as what’s going on with others without getting caught in automatic responses such as anxious reactivity or judgment. Mindfulness is paying attention on purpose in the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness therapy focuses on learning how to be more aware and how to reduce automatic responses. With increased awareness, you can choose to avoid destructive or automatic responses.
