Does this sound like you? No matter how hard you try, negative thoughts fill your head, swimming around, taking over your day. You try so hard, but everything you do feels wrong, imperfect, and uncomfortable. Sometimes you may feel full of energy and then crash or become tearful and sad or angry and irritable. Sometimes you may have nightmares or flashbacks or lose time just sitting and thinking. Perhaps you have felt this way and gone through the same behavior patterns your whole life. Or maybe, these feelings are brand new, and you have never felt this way before. For whatever reason, you are seeking help and I am glad you are.

Change is the language of life. All things change, from mountain peaks eroded with time to our very thoughts, feelings, and life circumstances. We all have within us great potential for profound growth and change in our lives. As we learn about how our past impacts our current and future actions, we gain increased awareness and insight into ourselves. Through increasing our awareness of self in the present moment, change is made possible. You do not have to continue struggling - together we can shift the way you think, feel, and perceive the world around you.
