Has trauma affected how you function? Do you find it difficult to express your feelings, use your words? Are you seen as grumpy, serious, or stoic? Are you one to not cry... or do you hide that part of yourself? Maybe you need someone to help guide you through your challenges and coping with the past & present, provide you with a safe & confidential place to say things you've wanted to say but felt unable. Does this describe you? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

New season here in Maine is slowly approaching as the February coldness passes.

For many of us, 2020 was a catalyst year starting with the pandemic, political conflict, grief and loss issues across the nation. It was a collective impact. For so many individuals, including myself, lives were uprooted, and the adjustment period was difficult and disconcerting as nothing seemed familiar anymore. Many have been dealing with relationships and marriages ending, loss of jobs, loss of homes, losing loved ones who have passed on, physical health deteriorating and so much more. Old traumas seemed to have resurfaced, depression/anxiety increasing, loneliness, and finding balance or a sense of self seems to evade us.
