You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.
You long for a day when this darkness is replaced with color and light. When you no longer have to pretend to be happy so others are comfortable. To feel the excitement and joy that is so easy for others. Right now it feels like a distant dream but it is a dream that can come true for you and I can help you find it.
Anxiety, depression, and trauma are not just “in your head” they are also in your heart and in your body. I work from this holistic approach to help you find your dream of happiness. My website (connectionsak.com) has even more information about me and what I do. Don’t spend another day miserable, contact me today to set up your free consultation.

I work with you to find the best way to help you get unstuck and back on track with your life. This may look different as you make progress but often we first focus on refining coping strategies to manage the stress you are experiencing. From there we can focus on resolving trauma and building a vision for what you want your life to be.

I use an eclectic mixture of treatments to fine tune how I assist you in making the changes you want to see. The underpinning of them all however is the somatic aspect of ourselves. While we can work on issues by changing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, the body is integral in our being and by integrating the body into treatment we can truly resolve trauma.
