Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

When we think about all the pain and suffering we endure during our lifetime, how much of it is necessary, and how much of it is avoidable? It is my belief that most individuals have the power to drastically change their own circumstances; yet we may falter by falling victim to our old routines and habits. The therapeutic journey is about questioning these automatic responses, while empowering you to take the steps needed to create long-lasting change. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor Frankl
