We all struggle with the stress of life and question whether we can really afford to take time to care for ourselves.
Life provides a multitude of circumstances that can stir up feelings of worry, insecurity, loss, frustration, and even hopelessness. We can carry many of these unprocessed emotions with us for longer than needed, and often create core beliefs about ourselves and others, that lead us to make decisions we rarely are happy with. As a counselor, I am passionate about helping my clients with rooting their identity and understanding in truth, pruning the distractions and unhealthy behaviors keeping them from growing, and nurturing healthy, holistic habits that lead to healthier and more enjoyable experiences and relationships.
