We can provide you with the skills, knowledge, and support to improve your relationship with yourself and others.
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless, while knowing that a better life is possible? If you have experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety and depression, you might feel trapped in a cycle of negative thinking, painful emotions, and failing relationships. Burdens of shame, anger or sadness can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be can feel impossible. No matter how hard things seem, we can help you find the inner strength to heal, grow, and become the person you were always meant to be.

"Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. It's not always comfortable, but it's never weakness."--Brene Brown. Hi, I'm Lydia and I utilize a solution focused, mindfulness based approach to aid clients in exploring their authentic selves and behavioral patterns. Like a Phoenix, I believe individuals have the ability to rise from the ashes as renewed, stronger versions of themselves. Whether those ashes are from broken relationships, perpetual marital problems, crippling anxiety, career dissatisfaction or the aftermath of trauma, they have the ability to transform you.
