You’re in a really shitty place. You’re angry, drained, hurt and tired of the constant thought loop that never seems to shut off. You’re exhausted with trying to remain positive and that’s not working anymore. You have things you never really talked about that are still eating away at you. No one seems to get you, so you connect more with characters in your favorite tv shows, movies, or songs. You’re trying to navigate through new transitions or relationships, and nothing seems to be working out. You feel like you’ve hit a wall.
You just want to be free. The feeling you get when you’re on a good hike, sitting by the ocean or on cruising down the open road listening to your favorite playlist. Clear and calm, you want to feel like you’re the master of you own voice and emotionally present with everyone important to you.
You’ve come this far, take the plunge! This is you giving back to yourself. Let’s explore your identity, break free from the negative image of yourself, and see who you can become while navigating this world. I am happy to provide a FREE phone consultation and encourage you to choose to pursue your healing journey.
