Are you constantly telling yourself, “Be strong!" and try to ignore your racing thoughts? You seem to start each day more mentally exhausted than the day before, wishing and hoping for something to change. Maybe you lost a loved one or your child, were told you have a chronic illness/disease, realized that your relationship is in shambles, are haunted by childhood experiences, or the pressures of your life/ job have begun to take their toll. You have thought of therapy but rationalize with yourself that “it isn’t so bad” and that you can keep trying to “fix yourself” only to find yourself circling in a self-blaming pattern.

You frequently hear euphemisms such as "don't work so much," "make time for rest and relaxation" and "don't sweat the small stuff." All of these statements are positive and beneficial in their intent however, implementing them into your daily life can often be challenging.

Fitting in time with friends and family, getting in that workout and other needed self care can be difficult to accomplish. You are at a point where you are ready to make life adjustments, however, may feel uncertain where to begin.

Are you frustrated, perhaps feeling a bit angry? In addition, you feel like no one understands you or they say the wrong thing to you without thinking of the impact. Dealing with chronic illness and pain is a consistent struggle. Sometimes getting through a day to just support a decent lifestyle is excruciating. The isolation is troubling because a social life feels so out of reach Top that off with a relationship and a healthy sex life seems impossible at the moment. Everyday feels like a marathon of how much can be done while feeling a consistent exhaustion that never goes away. Waking up feeling refreshed seems like a fantasy.

You’re defeated, broken, and feeling trapped in your past. Life has not been easy for you and along the way you seem to have lost who you are. The trauma you have experienced is affecting you daily, making you feel helpless. Unable to love yourself you struggle to set and maintain boundaries. The pressure to please others is exhausting and you can't seem to find balance or support in your life. Your history of abuse triggers you to impulsively react- rather than logically respond during difficult situations. You’re looking for guidance to process through all the baggage, uncertainty, and stress.
