You are paralyzed by indecision. Even the most trivial choices are endlessly obsessed over and second-guessed. You lay in bed at night, dissecting and critiquing each social interaction from the day before. “Why did I say that?” “I looked like such an idiot.” You’ve set an unattainably high standard for yourself that’s impossible to live up to. So, you only do things that are without risk. You avoid unpredictable situations and steer clear of conflict at all costs. But in the process, your world keeps getting smaller and smaller. You know there’s more to life than simply avoiding discomfort, but you don’t know another other way.

Don’t give up! I help men, couples, and members of the LGBTQ+ community address their unresolved issues and rediscover the innate strength within them. We’ll work to uncover the underlying emotions holding you back, challenge your negative self-talk, and set you free to embrace your true self. Let's embark on this transformative healing journey together.

Unlock the full potential of your life and live it authentically. It’s time to silence your inner critic and pave a path forward with clarity, peace, and empowerment. Your life belongs to you; take ownership of it. Let me help guide you towards confidence and self-acceptance. Reach out now for your free 15-minute consultation, and let’s get started today!
