Maybe without noticing, you've gone through a major life event and feel confused about why you can't quite adjust, or you find yourself surprised by your reactions to things. Or there's conflict in your relationships, with your partner or friends or family, and you can't break the cycle and find healing in those relationships or resolve conflicts. If you're feeling confusion, stress, anxiety, or difficulty adjusting, therapy is a great space to explore these feelings.

We all experience times in our lives that leave us feeling worried, overwhelmed, hopeless, and even defeated. I believe one does not have to walk the journey to healing alone. Therapy is a safe space to start the healing work in finding hope and joy again.

Are you a first responder, military, front-line worker, clergy, counselor, or a person who feels they have to help others and yet struggle to help yourself? Some people aren’t good at asking for help, they are used to being “the helper.” Subsequently, you have experienced an unbalanced give and take.

However, you are facing anxiety, depression, grief, and possibly other feelings that consume your current situation.
