It goes without saying that life can feel out of control at times. Many try to press on without help and no support. However, stress is like boiling water, when we put a lid on it, it boils harder. I am here to help you reduce the feeling of life being out of control or like you are about to boil over.

As we experience life and recount its events, we use stories.

Somewhere along the way, you lost yourself. It happened so slowly that you barely realized it. Every time you spoke up at work, the voice in your head would criticize you, “You’re making a fool of yourself.” So, eventually, you stopped speaking up. After dates, you’d obsess over every interaction to the point where you’d be sick with worry. So, you decided it’s not worth it to keep dating. Little by little, you stopped doing things and receded further into yourself. You took fewer chances and felt fewer emotions. Every day, your world got smaller. You know you deserve more from life than this, but you’re unsure how to get it.
