PAIN:
What are you going to do with it?
The Void
The Mask
The Storm
You Don't Have To Have It All Figured Out
If you know something in your life isn't working whether it’s a relationship, self-image, career, spirituality or simply a feeling deep inside that something is wrong or missing, but you don’t know where to start…just begin by sharing with me what you’re feeling, or perhaps not feeling, and we can go from there.
As humans we shy away from pain but leaning into pain is what can set us free. Acknowledging your pain and any shame you may carry as a result; those are the things that need to be expressed so they don't stay trapped in your mind and our body where they will inevitably negatively affect your behavior. We can never bury anything deeply enough that it won't surface in some way and hurt us even further.
Where You Are Isn’t Where You’ll Stay
Where you are right now isn't where you have to remain. Every single day you have a chance to stay where you're at, take a step back, or move forward with the potential to experience joy, even if that feels unreachable today. We will take it one step at a time, one day at a time and come up with a strategy for you to get to where you want to be...wherever that is. I believe in you and your ability to look within and find your own answers, but I will also be alongside you helping to guide you. You are not alone. I am with you, and I am for you.
If you're not familiar with my story, please read about my background (link to bio page), so you'll understand I'm an imperfect human just like you. Through my professional and personal experiences, though, I have learned the complexities of traditional and holistic medicine, and the fundamentals of becoming a healthier human who lives with so much more joy as a result.
There is no one-size fits all approach to healing pain. When you are ready to take your first step toward learning how unresolved pain impacts your life and your relationships, I can help you determine what the most efficient and effective tools and resources may be for you. As you share your story with me, I will learn about your preferences by what you say and what you don't say. I will take into consideration your goal, budget, learning style, support system, level of self-trust, and so many other important elements. I will listen and I will learn about you and together we will devise a strategy that will help you become self-aware so you can self-reflect and through that recognize that your behaviors make sense given your background which will allow you to own your past behaviors and see how they affected relationships, and learn from those experiences as well as utilize new tools and resources that will reduce the amount of fear in your brain that sabotages you having everything you want.
You Are Not Stuck
You are not stuck. You are not doomed. There is hope for you and if you can't find it for yourself, talk with me and we will find it together. All you have to do is begin telling me your story by booking an appointment today. If you don't think you can verbalize your thoughts and feelings, you may schedule an appointment and send them to me through email. (link to appointment page)
My life's purpose is to help people who are hurting learn to live fully and freely with the joy that is available to all, even when it feels so far out of reach. That is why I created GB Real.
The Choice Is Yours
The Void
This image represents the chaos and then the emptiness of The Void. In this state, a person's life and mind can initially feel out of control, chaotic, filled with so many feelings, so much emotion that it is often completely overwhelming leading one to then want to shut down through excessive sleep, inability to focus or participate in regular activities, desire to be alone hoping that will quiet the madness happening inside.
The Mask
When a person survives The Void but doesn't actually heal the wounds that led to it, one option to survive in this world is to wear The Mask, create a persona, become someone on the outside who we don't feel like we are on the inside. Oftentimes people who wear masks are high achievers, perfectionists, successful in their professional lives, but their personal lives can be quite the opposite
The Storm
Other hurting people pass along the pain they have experienced and stay stuck in anger or rage, surface level emotions to cover the deep pain that lies beneath. The level of anger or rage at any given time determines the intensity of the storm that is created in their lives and relationships.

"I just got the job offer!! Thank you so, so, so much for helping me with everything. I seriously couldn’t not have done it without you and helping me be confident in myself. I’m forever grateful for you."
Interview prep for client who previously froze during interviews.
"Thank you so much for this! I read it when you sent it, and it honestly it made a huge difference in how I tackled the day. Things have gotten a lot less stressful, but I was just at that point I could barely hang on to the last thread of the rope. There's still a lot going on and just as busy, but much more manageable. Once I got myself to quiet my mind and stop making up stories in my mind that weren't true, I could move forward."
