Any of these sound familiar?

  • I never saw it coming.

  • I was good until ___.

  • Time hasn’t healed my pain.

  • I’m still heartbroken.

  • I’m overwhelmed by feelings of sadness, anxiety, or anger.

  • Things that used to matter, don’t anymore.

  • I feel like no one really understands me.

If so, you’re in the right place.

Life is fragile and sometimes unpredictable.

Unexpected or painful experiences can alter our lives in profound ways. When something painful and unexpected happens, it can feel as though our whole world has imploded. The cords of hope that connect us to our life and dreams can become strained or broken.

It might feel as though we will be sad forever. Fear and anxiety can become our constant companions. Anger might show up in the most unexpected ways. And sometimes, our minds may be filled with thoughts we dare not voice.

Perhaps some time has passed and you realize that time, alone, does not heal all wounds.

If so, there is a path forward.

There is hope.

Welcome. Whether you’re navigating loss, trauma, or a season of deep change, you do not have to go through it alone.

I offer a space dedicated to your wellbeing.
