Navigating life's transitions can be challenging at times. During those times, when you are living in overwhelm and wondering about which decision is best for you in that moment, who do you rely on to process that information? Where and who is your support system? Do you know what you need or want in that moment? You need a person and space where safety abounds and judgement does not exist. Let's talk!

Do you often feel down, lost, or confused about why you feel the way you do? At night, do you replay the events of the day over and over? Maybe you feel confused about who you really are.

You want to understand yourself and your life better, taking positive steps forward. You want to get a better grasp of your true identity. You want to get to a place where you can embrace your authentic self, feel connected to yourself and to and to the world around you.

Perhaps you've started using substances more often than you'd like to. Or you just don’t understand why no one “gets” you and you wish someone would just try!
