I believe we can all agree that we want to have happy, healthy, and satisfying lives. Unfortunately, sometimes obstacles hinder us from achieving the outcomes we desire.

If you are struggling; however, have the motivation to collaborate, identify your needs and goals then let us (together) get to work.

We are experiencing challenging times. Most of us have also experienced past or recent unresolved trauma. It is physically and emotionally tiresome to carry our past with us into the present while trying to make sense of our place in the world. This can lead to uncertainty, isolation, and a longing for meaningful connection. You may notice feeling unmotivated, depressed, anxious, and/or experiencing disturbances in your sleep and other daily routines. It is possible to heal from the past and move forward with greater emotional presence leading to healthy management of daily stressors and fulfillment in relationships and in life.
