The ebbs and flows of life can be hard to navigate at times. Finding support is the most important step.
Are you emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling in your relationships?
Is anxiety preventing you from pursuing the things that matter?
Do you struggle with mixed emotions about your upbringing? Did you have a difficult childhood that is now affecting your adulthood?
Have your experiences from the past seem to be affecting the present constantly?
You have tried everything, and nothing seems to work to get your relationship back on track.
You feel like a prisoner in your mind, living on the edge in a state of fight or flight, desperate for life to stop being an uphill battle.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Together, we will explore whatever you might be experiencing as an individual or a couple and work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of what is going on for you.
I will hold a safe space for you; we will figure it out together.
