Life is busy. Life is chaotic. And figuring out how to balance it all can feel mentally, physically and emotionally draining. My goal is to help you find some calm in the chaos, and regain a sense of inner peace. When facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, or distress, we find that your mental health and physical health are affected. The body can hold onto emotions and trauma, so we can work together to release and let go of that which we no longer need. Sometimes time does not "heal all", the body keeps score. Self-care is how you take your power back, and I am here to support you along the way.

You feel like you struggle to stay the course, and yet life continues to shift and change. You are searching for higher ground, but often feel like you are sinking. No matter how hard you dig in, you may have an underlying feeling of fear or uneasiness. Regardless of what you are going through, you put on a mask that speaks differently than how you feel. Some days you walk through the pain, and look for the sunshine, while other days it can feel overcast. Motivation to continue responsibilities is difficult. Self- care is an unfamiliar concept that applies to others, but not for you. Walking through each day feels redundant.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, or overwhelmed? Are you tired of negative self-talk, repetitive thoughts, the same pattern(s) of behavior, or being unhappy in your relationships? Do you want to feel better about yourself and your relationships, experience greater life satisfaction, and have more energy? These things come from having greater self-possession, which is the ability to have a stronger sense of self and be able to fully know and express your truth.
