About Grapevine Inner Wellness

Been ThereGrief, depression, anxiety, trauma…

They can strike anywhere, anytime, and hit anyone.

They don’t care about your plans. They don’t care who you are: your background, your race, or your religion.

They’ll upend your daily life, leaving you pining for “how things used to be.”

They’re thieves, robbing you of the peace, happiness, and fulfillment that are rightfully yours.

About Img 2Emotional distress is brutal!

Undealt with, the ongoing stress can cause serious health problems.

When you’re depressed, it’s not just about your mood. Its tendrils reach into every aspect of your life: work, relationships, health, and well-being.

Nothing’s left untouched. Your sleep is lousy, your focus is gone, you gain weight, and you get sick more often.

The lack of energy makes you listless, slogging away from day to day. It’s not long before you’re facing digestive problems, heart disease, diabetes, immune disorders… even cancer.

A lot is riding on your emotional wellness.

This is your invitation to inner wellness and an incredible life.

Imagine this…

You wake up feeling refreshed from a FULL NIGHT’S sleep. You’re full of energy and looking forward to the day – instead of wanting to pull the covers back over your head and hide from the world.

You say “good morning” to your spouse, partner, or kids as you sweep them into a big hug. Laughter abounds. You’re able to enjoy them and be fully present – instead of being checked out, living in a fog.

You can savor the important moments in your life with friends and family. You resume that hobby you love. You feel joy.

By working together, we can make this a reality for you.

I’ll guide you beyond the pain and into the awesome life you deserve.

Helping PplYou’ll start feeling better from our first meeting.

I help people overcome the resistance that comes with facing a new reality. If you’re feeling numb or just can’t enjoy life, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ll listen to your story…

I want to learn about you and who you are – to understand the path you’ve walked and what’s brought you to where you are now.

I’ll see, hear, and be present for you.

In every session, you’ll know you have someone who’s listening – someone who gets it and wants the best for you.

I’ve got your back!

You’ll get practical tools and strategies…

Nobody has time for a bunch of pretty-sounding textbook theory that doesn’t get the job done. You need relief now. Everything I teach is hands-on and practical, and you can apply it to your life right away.

Our work will give you immediate relief from your pain and set you up for long-term healing and wellness.

We’ll work at your pace…

Some people move faster in their healing journey; some move a little slower. Both are okay.

Inner wellness is not a race. We’re in this together for the long haul, and I’ll never push you to go faster than what’s right for you. We’ll get there when we get there.

Feel Good AgainIt’s time to start feeling GOOD again!

Imagine feeling lighter…

Imagine getting a full night’s sleep again…

Imagine waking up to take on the day with hope and energy…

How amazing would that feel??

About Me

A Little About Me ImageI’ve been there.

My life was shattered by a traumatic family event. I felt like I’d been swept away in a powerful hurricane. I was overwhelmed with grief.

I felt lost, afraid, and isolated, which led to severe depression and anxiety.

I simply couldn’t imagine life ever being good again. (Maybe you can relate.)

So, I embarked on a journey…

To “wake up” from the nightmare and achieve inner wellness, I knew I had to get help. So, I did.

In therapy, I learned insights and practical techniques to overcome depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I slowly rebuilt my life. As I returned to “normal,” peace and joy entered those once-dark spaces.

After my recovery, I began another journey…

It was a journey to help others. That’s why I’m here: to help you rebuild a beautiful life you’ll love!

I am a Grief Recovery Specialist, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach, and I hold a certification in Somatic Embodiment and Regulation.  I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory.

Using a these modalities, we’ll move through your suffering and put you on the path to healing.

Through our work together, you’ll once again experience hope and joy. You’ll enjoy the holidays again, restart hobbies, spend time with friends, and sleep restfully.

When I’m not helping people…

I love visiting new places with my business partner and husband, Jim. I have three sons and enjoy spending time with them.

I also like bike riding, Harry Potter, and documentaries.

And if you have a cake with buttercream frosting, I’m in! It’s one of my weaknesses!
