Courage, dear heart, as life will present you with surprises and in time, you will manage each one with bravery. Our families can push our boundaries; our relationships can challenge us; and our careers can stretch us so thin. Negative self-thoughts can keep us in our heads and repeating old patterns can feel like a roller coaster of emotions. Past traumas can intrude our present; social injustices can break our community down; and gender and cultural inequalities can be an exhausting battle. Our self-care can plummet and suddenly we are not our first priority. However, you are leaning in today and making an investment in YOU!

Are you tired of waking up anxious and dreading the day ahead? Are you sick of feeling burnt out on life? Do you feel like you’ve been checking off all the boxes in your life but you’re not fully enjoying your life? The goal of therapy is to find a secure attachment to your higher self.

Do you have difficulty trusting others or maintaining close relationships with friends and romantic partners? Do you struggle to manage your emotions when you feel stressed or overwhelmed? Do you often experience feelings of self-doubt? This is not uncommon, especially if you grew up in a household in which one or both of your parents suffered from mental health issues, either treated or untreated, or they had certain traits (lack of empathy, difficulty regulating emotions, unpredictable moods, narcissism). If so, then you may still be dealing with the impact on your mental health and your relationships well into adulthood.
