Life certainly has its difficult moments and oftentimes these moments certainly have an impact on our ability to move forward. In many cases, our forward view is darkened and causes us to stumble and sometimes fall. The result of this usually leads to stagnation.

Life is made of moments, moments become memories, and we assign a meaning to these memories… The mind is a powerful thing! But what if some of these moments were bad? What if our memories leave us feeling broken, detached, anxious, depressed, or worthless? What if we take negative messages from these memories, making it hard to even function? If you’ve experienced childhood trauma, suffered from abuse, or been exposed to violence, chances are you have some of these memories. Even break-ups, bad bosses, or school- related struggles can make quite an impact on us, too. My primary goal is to provide a safe place for you to heal.
