Anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns can suffocate our lives, keeping us from experiencing the fullness and beauty all around us. Sometimes, we’re able to put on a brave face, despite our pain, to try to show the outside world that we’re okay. Sometimes, we fall apart and can't seem to put the pieces back together. No matter where you are in your healing journey, the good news is that therapy works, and there are several evidence-based treatments that are proven to help you feel better. There is hope, purpose, love, and joy on the other side of the pain you are facing, and we can work to find that together.

You deserve joy, safety, and comfort in your own skin - way easier said than done. If you're looking into therapy (props, by the way!), then you have self-awareness and a desire to grow. Maybe you've noticed some rigid or unreasonable expectations of yourself, or that you beat yourself up a lot, but you're conflicted about letting go when it feels tied to your achievements. Maybe you've noticed an unhealthy or unsustainable relationship with food, exercise, or your body. Maybe you feel overwhelmed giving unto others while you have unmet needs of your own. You want to be compassionate to yourself, but you don't know where to start.
