It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to your authentic self. < < < I have 2 spots for couple therapy, high conflict or intercultural. > > >

Oftentimes, our deepest struggles reveal larger questions that we all ask ourselves at some point in life: What is my purpose? Do I have any worth or value? What is the meaning of my life? Does anyone see me? The unpredictability of life can be blindsiding, leaving us feeling empty, lost, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and discouraged. Whether you have lost a loved one, are feeling burnout, are overwhelmed in a life transition, uncertain about the future, find yourself in the cycle of addiction, or are struggling with emotions that you have never experienced before, this one reality remains the same: change is possible.
