Individuals seek therapy for many issues. I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside people that want help in managing Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem barriers and daily stress. Often times these issues are masked by deep rooted trauma, grief and abuse. Individuals need encouragement, support, feeling that they are heard and validation while on their journey to healing.

Where is the instruction manual for this thing called life? Even with a wealth of knowledge and experience, life can be very tough. Sometimes it's a struggle because someone we love is hurting, or we are hurting because something happened, or we just feel sad, afraid or stuck. It can feel pretty hopeless trying to figure it all out on our own. The story doesn't have to end there; hope can often be found even in the darkest of places.
