It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

As individuals living in an often harsh world, often pushed to and fro from external and internal influences, we all will need at some point an anchor to ground ourselves. It should be the right of every individual to have the firm foundation to build on and achieve their greatest potential. We know that we can not grow to become our best selves in a vacuum. Just as building a strong foundation for a building required a group of skilled artisans so too do we as individuals need a strong skilled support network as none of us can succeed alone.

There are moments in life when we face adversities that leave us feeling overwhelmed, sad, anxious, hopeless, isolated, and/or stressed. Perhaps there is a problem that seems impossible to solve. Perhaps it seems like no one could possibly understand your experiences. Perhaps you aren’t even sure where to begin. I can support you to identify where you may be feeling stuck in your life and empower you to find ways to create balance within yourself and in your relationships with others and your environment.
