Do you find yourself feeling stuck, drained, and frustrated? Are you having difficulty finding motivation and purpose in your life or relationships?

You may feel like life is moving along without you, and you are detached from a guiding purpose or motivation for your future.

An unresolved past can often sneak up into your day-to-day life. You may find yourself reacting in ways you don’t intend to in everyday situations, followed by guilt and frustration, and then in other scenarios, it’s as though you feel nothing at all. Sometimes you are too exhausted to connect with those closest to you or feel as though you are unsure of who you are outside of your relationships. You may find yourself frequently turning to substances, food, social media, TV shows, or sleep in order to feel relaxed. I am able to help you find some relief from these difficult experiences.
