Are you troubled with persistent restlessness, irritability, overthinking, inertia that keeps you stuck in your day-to-day living, impacts your close relationships, and imprisons you in your inability to be fully engaged with your self and the world around you? Overwhelmed with how to get through each day, or the notion that there’s no end in sight, and do you wonder if life could be different? Are you facing uncertainty, some of which has to do with not knowing how to navigate through challenging relationships, work through losses, or just find your way in life?

Life often requires multi-tasking and keeping up with the fast pace. For many of us, it is hard to stop and find the time to attend to the soul. Inevitably, the soul demands attention, and periods of confusion, crisis, illness, or life transition can transform into opportunities for depth work. Anger, stress, illness, anxiety, and depression do not exist in a vacuum and involve a complex interplay of personal, familial, and cultural dynamics.
