I believe individuals manage the best they can, but these efforts do not always naturally translate to happiness or self-fulfillment. Oftentimes, situations cause us pain and in response, we spend considerable energy safeguarding our vulnerabilities at the expense of our well-being. Managing emotional distress alone can feel overwhelming, which is why we often need help from a sensitive, knowledgeable professional.

Experiencing trauma or any kind of high-stress situation can make it more difficult to manage life because our body will store stress. Trying to forget or avoid what happened can be difficult and creates more stress. It doesn't have to rule your life. It is possible to manage your stress and feel relief from past experiences. I help clients manage the stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and pressures of life to feel more confident, hopeful, and free.
