Anxiety Reduction and Spiritual Coaching
My passion is practicing and sharing the strategies and techniques that have been life changing for me on my spiritual journey. I had not realized the profound impact our unmanaged negative thoughts have on every aspect of our lives, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that having an awareness of our thoughts gives us an opportunity and a choice to change the trajectory of our thinking and our outlook on life. Working with individuals on their personal journey and experiencing their transformation has been extremely rewarding for me. I want to partner with others on their spiritual path. I want everyone to experience the profound difference that is ours when we refuse to be held hostage to unhealthy and negative thoughts, and we choose to love and show up for ourselves.
