You wonder what other people have that you don't and that question makes you feel sad, lonely, hopeless and isolated from the world.

The struggle is real. Two opposite worlds. Two sets of identities. You know where you come from but you struggle to see how that relates to who you want to be. The struggle to meet the expectations and standards of those around you is so overwhelming to the point that you feel like you need to wear different masks to fit in opposite worlds. I get it and you are not alone. When working with me you will learn tools to help recconnect with your mind, body and soul with no judgment, shame or guilt. Through deep and meaningful reflection, finding your purpose in this world will become a central part of our work together.

Family-of-origin issues may cause adults to experience anxiety, depression, or other mood or personality disorders. Individuals who grow up with difficult family relationships may find dating, working relationships, friendships and even relationships with themselves to be difficult. Lack of safety may result in infidelity, mistrust, validation seeking, lack of boundaries, conflict (causing or avoidance), anger, eating disorders or addiction. These challenges can be passed down for generations. Therapy can help resolve these issues by providing space to process, gain insight and learn new patterns.
