You thought you'd have life all figured out by the time you reached your 30s but you're feeling more lost & anxious than ever lately. The pressure of hitting those life milestones (get married, buy a home, have kids, progress your career) leaves your head spinning. You're constantly overthinking, doubting yourself & feeling like your best is never good enough. Not to mention the every day struggle of balancing all of your responsibilities, relationships & goals. Everything has gotten so overwhelming and this isn't where you pictured yourself at this point in your life. You're ready for a change.

Life's inevitable uncertainty can lead to irritability, anticipation, and worry about the worst-case scenario. These features of anxiety and fear try to protect us from the harmful, imperfect, and unknown aspects of being human. However, these defences can be distressing, suffocating, and overbearing, stealing our ability to find joy, be mindful and at peace, ultimately impacting our relationship with ourselves and others. I am here for you if you are ready to break free from cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt and move closer to a felt sense experience of contentment, ease and acceptance.

You may be feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You have tried therapy before but without success, or you may have never talked about this issue to anyone. Either way, you feel stuck and you can't imagine continuing through life the way things are at present. You may have experienced childhood trauma, deal with self-harm, struggle to keep your emotions in check, have experienced adoption/foster care, spiritual abuse, or just feel unwell. You need a safe place to unburden yourself. You want to feel seen, heard, and understood. You need to untangle the messy web of life. You just need some peace and hope in your life.
