We help couples in turmoil, as well as anxious perfectionists, stressed out high-achievers, and women struggling with confidence. "We're always fighting." "We don't connect anymore."

“Girl, you got it all together!” That’s what they say. But inside you’re falling apart because you feel so stuck and unhappy. You no longer connect with the person that others see on the outside, because you’re paralyzed on the inside. So instead you go through your days wearing a mask, feeling like a failure, stressed & overwhelmed, and/or battling feelings of "not enoughness." You find yourself asking, “When is life REALLY going to begin for me?”

What is happening? Somewhere along the way you started to lose each other. Between the kids and careers, the spark has vanished, and your partner feels like a colleague, or worse, a stranger.

You tried the “dates” and the self-help books with the hope of finding your way back to one another. The problem is that lately you can’t think of the last time you shared a deep conversation, laughter or intimacy. You have ended up feeling alone and lonely.

Are you or a young person you know struggling to navigate life's difficulties and transitions? Maybe you or they are also trying to do this thing we call life while managing mental health concerns, difficult family or peer relationships, school stressors, and/or any other number of problems making it all that much more difficult. If any of this sounds familiar, you have probably tried many possible solutions to make things better. I believe the best path to your "better" lies with you. Often a validating, safe space for exploring thoughts/emotions and developing skills for coping and change is the missing piece to your puzzle.

You know that feeling of disconnection between your head and your heart? When you're struggling and know that the feedback you're getting from trusted loved ones is logical, but for some reason it just isn't making you feel better? If you could just "think" or "do" your way out of pain, you probably wouldn't be here. Emotions always show up for good reason - even when they don't seem to fit. God created the spectrum of emotions to be felt, seen, heard, and understood. When we don't have a safe place to explore them, they get ignored, buried, stuck, and confusing, and they can no longer do their job. This creates disconnection.
