You lost something important to you and your world has never been the same. Maybe you know exactly what happened. Maybe it happened so long ago, you can't remember the details. Either way, you're haunted by the ghost of a better life. It always seems to be just out of reach. Something needs to change, you can feel it in your bones. But every time you start to move in the right direction, things fall apart. Sometimes you wonder if you're doomed to feel this miserable and broken for the rest of your life.
I've been helping people rescue themselves from trauma, addiction, grief, despair and fear since 2015. Helping them break the cycles of frustration and codependency. Find a way to get out of their own way and find their joy again.
Lasting Positive Life Change is possible. Even for people who think they are "too broken." If you're age 18+ and ready for a new perspective: buckle up, my friend! I can't wait to be a part of your comeback story!
