“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” - Georges Seurat Pointillism is the art of creating a picture out of hundreds, thousands, or even millions of small dots. We as humans are like a pointillism picture, but rather than paint or colored pencil, our dots are made up of family , friends, school, work, beliefs, cultures, personality, preferences, and so much more. Every dot that makes up your life is important for positive change and growth.

You're smart, successful, and seem to have it all together...yet you've lost track of who you are and what you're feeling. You wear this emotional mask on the outside, but your internal feelings and conflict tell a different story. Perhaps you're the one everyone counts on: family , friends, significant other, coworkers. Or maybe you're just feeling saturated by the stress and demands of life. Either way, you feel alone and overwhelmed. You're not sure who will understand you since you can't make sense of it yourself. Self-care is not your norm, but you've come to realize something's gotta give. It is time for a change.

Life struggles may sometimes prevent us from fully being our true selves, interfering with the hopes, dreams and wishes we have for our lives. When the weight of relationship stress, emotional discomfort, loss, life transitions, etc. leaves you feeling unbalanced or unfulfilled, you do not have to carry it alone. It is my sincerest desire to carry it with you offering a process of emotional healing, exploration and self-discovery. As we journey towards a restored sense of balance and harmony, I encourage you through your process until you feel secure, connected and can experience peace.
