YOU’RE TIRED OF RELIVING THE PAST -You find yourself rehashing it over and over and over again, and all you want is for it to stop. Out of the blue, you are paralyzed with feelings of fear, vulnerability and panic from everyday situations. You’re far too familiar with being on high-alert, and never letting your guard down. You feel anxious, and held captive to past trauma, that you just can't seem to let go. It’s hard to sleep and the nightmares don’t stop. You can’t talk about it because no one understands. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. You wonder what’s wrong with you.

Let's be clear, no one is perfect. Moreover, no one is under any obligation to be. There is no manual to life and we are not always equipped with the right tools to support and empower ourselves when in difficult situations. I enjoy working with individuals, both adults and youth, to support growth, healing, and empowerment. With self-compassion and the bravery to seek assistance, we can collaborate in building the skills needed to overcome this moment (i.e. life transition, issues at home or school, depression, anxiety, PTSD, low-self esteem, poor interpersonal relationship, and disruptive thoughts/behaviors.)

Wellness is having a healthy balance of our mind, body, and spirit. When it’s disconnected, you may feel unmotivated, empty, or dissatisfied with life or relationships. It causes negative thoughts that contribute to feeling depressed or anxious. Exhaustion is another sign of imbalances due to giving too much of your energy to others or feeling like there is not enough time to care for yourself. This results in difficulty in saying “no” to others requests or self-judgement of not being enough. Life may feel or seem to get busier, creating challenges that get in the way of achieving your goals.
