Who You Are

People that know you would say that you are a top performer, maybe married to your work, a go-getter, and one that not only talks the talk but walks the walk.
You have worked hard to get yourself to where you are with dedication, focus and sacrifice. Perhaps have given up a great deal to be where you are today and have juggled and overcome multiple challenges coming from left field that have landed right in front of you.
When people see you, what they know about you is your great life that they secretly envy, you have it all, education, career, financial stability, hobbies that you commit to, and a solid support system…
What they don’t know… is that you are not just tired, you are exhausted, you haven’t a clue about work-life balance, if you had it your way, you would curl up in a ball and not get out of bed wishing that you are not letting others around you down.
Transformation and growth - if you can let go of the past and embrace the present, you can successfully embark on the future you desire, deserve and can attain.

Excessive worry and anxiety

It is imperative to be able to understand the difference between worry and anxiety. Worriers can be both unproductive and productive, it is helpful to differentiate between current and future problems, and important to learn how worry can be dealt with before it transforms into an anxiety state.

Situational stress and depression

Situational Stress though temporary and varied in presentation, it comes with both physical and emotional symptoms, which can be managed appropriately. Clinical Depression is a medical illness that negatively impacts how you think, feel, act, with overall decreased functioning ability.

Perfectionism and resiliency

The ability to adapt and respond continuously in life is known as resiliency and is an important trait to enhance and work towards. Perfectionism on the other hand, is a roadblock to progress. Moving away from extreme perfectionism has many benefits. Click the link below to find out more.

Sleep troubles and insomnia

Sleep difficulties can affect physical and mental health — signs like, lacking daytime focus, headaches, irritability, fatigue, trouble falling or staying asleep are indicators to be aware of. I can help you address these symptoms before it turns into sleeplessness or full-blown insomnia.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes referred to as ‘trance state’. The purpose to achieve a trance state, is to be able to influence mood, perceptions and behaviours.
