Stressed, overwhelmed, and restless minds are welcome here. Have you found yourself beginning to detach from life and relationships; unable to trust those around you, forgive those who hurt you or be your authentic self? Maybe you're tired of people telling you that you're "over analyzing things" or "being too hard on yourself", too sensitive or (gasp!) too spiritual! Meanwhile, you're constantly feeling unworthy inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of the love, career, friends, and abundant life you desire. You've probably googled, "am I depressed" or "how not to be anxious". Traumatic encounters, issues in our family of origin, spiritual confusion and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

Know that "YOU" are the expert of your life and together we can begin working to process and manager those life situations.
