In my life, I’ve had a variety of positive and negative experiences as a student, veteran, facilitator, and parent.

It is exhausting when your appearance to the outside world doesn't match how you feel on the inside. You're sad, anxious or even angry around others. You have trouble connecting with people, or even avoid others altogether. They will never understand how you feel. They don't listen to what you are telling them. They don't know what it's like to have to hide. You are tired, spent, have no energy. They will never understand how stressful it is to walk around pretending to be something you're not.

Ideally, I want the client to be willing to peel back those layers of pain through understanding, believing truly in themselves along with what they are willing to work towards.

Does the stress from the hassles of daily living seem like there’s no end in sight? Do you feel like you’re not making any progress despite your efforts? Any combination of work, school, social or home life can be enough to overwhelm you. Instead of progress, you reach for distractions to give momentary relief.

Before we turn up the heat in the kitchen, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jessyca Hayward, I am a LCSW. I have worked with children, teens, young adults and families for over 5 years. Over those 5 years I have learned it is hard to open up to strangers and express serious traumatic or even simple issues that we face daily, but what happens when we keep our minds busy, our hearts open., and stomachs are full? Having the ability to express your thoughts and emotions in a more relaxed, creative, fun, and inspiring environment, gives a person more freedom to be able to become more vulnerable, comfortable, and at peace.
