You know what really sucks? Anxiety. It f***ing sucks! How many of you right now reading this agree? Just thinking about feeling anxiety gives me anxiety, but guess what? There's a way to manage it. For so many years I thought that it was "normal" to be feeling like a chicken with my head cut off with a trillion thoughts running through it at the same time. Duh? Doesn't everyone breathe in short breaths? (trigger warning) ...NO...Here's what talking to a therapist did for me and how I hope to help you. I learned that losing a loved one and experiencing loss at a very young age, really REALLY hurt.

Our focus is to create balance and wellness in people's lives through a harmony between physical and mental health wellness. We want to create a space where our clients of all backgrounds feel safe to be transparent and honest about the experiences they have in order to affect change in their lives. We also want to highlight the experiences of inequity in our society and to those that are disproportionately affected, we are here to empower and support you as you learn to heal from these experiences. We understand that being males in the mental health field is a rarity and encourage more boys/men to prioritize their mental health.

Reaching out to a professional takes courage. When struggles and unexpected challenges arise, it can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, OCD, and many other psychological and emotional symptoms. Sometimes stress leads to compulsive behaviors, including; over indulging in alcohol and substance misuse. We encourage self-exploration into the patterns that keep individuals stuck, and prevent them from moving forward. We help client's capitalize on their strengths to focus on reaching their highest potential.
