Currently accepting new clients who have weekday availability before 3. Have you been feeling bogged down by life? Are past experiences controlling the way you think, feel, and act?

Talking with someone who is open and non-judgmental can be a helpful way of releasing some stress, learning skills to get through these tough times, and better your relationship with yourself and others.

Emotions can be overwhelming, confusing, and ultimately too much to sift through on our own. What do they all mean? What exactly am I feeling? Who can I turn to to help me navigate these feelings I have been sitting with for so long? This can feel so isolating and have us feeling like we do not deserve to reach out for the help we need. These big and confusing emotions we hold onto stop us from finding our true selves and unlocking our full potential. Leaning fully into who we are, feeling like we have more awareness of ourselves and the world around us, and growing to love the true person you are begins in this space.
