"Adulting brings its own challenges. But also, what you are experiencing today could be from unresolved childhood issues. Do you feel overwhelmed, distressed, anxious, and depressed? Do you notice that you function well in one area, but you fall apart behind closed doors? As a teenager, college student, Millenial, or Gen Z'er, you have the world ahead of you, but you've been wounded from broken relationships, abandonment, abuse and/or molestation. It's hard to be free from these challenges on your own, but it's not impossible with help. I am a firm believer if you can identify the root you can change the fruit. "

"It is common to question your decisions in life. Sometimes, it can seem like life is going so fast you find yourself feeling lost, anxious or overwhelmed. Perhaps things have gotten so tough that you feel judged, overall worthless and a burden to your friends and family. Maybe thinking about going to class, talking in front of peers, or even getting groceries creates worry that you will be rejected.

Whether you are ready to make a change or just need someone to listen, I am here. My hope is that you will feel accepted, safe, and empowered as you begin to take your life back.
