Life can be stressful, and looking for help can be challenging. One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

Feeling stuck! You’re repeating patterns, unable to move forward in life, and shackled down by anxiety, fear, and depression. There is a constant critic in your head that creates more emotional pain, and there is no energy or confidence to do the things you want to enjoy. Relationships have left you feeling disappointed. You don’t know how to make your circumstances better, but you are desperate to find a way to move forward. It’s been a struggle to make changes in the past, not knowing exactly how to move forward and release your emotional burdens. It seems as though nothing has worked.

We all suffer, but most suffering is not necessary. We develop habits to cope with suffering, but then find we are stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve us. Creating a safe, stable, and trusting environment, we can non-judgementally perceive where we are stuck and have the courage to let go of unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We are then able to grow in new ways that allow for gentleness, peace, and joy.
