Rediscover Your True Self
“Beginnings can be scary, endings can be sad, but it’s the middle that counts. We just need to remember that when we find ourselves at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up”
- Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats

Does it feel like you’ve been going through life in “survival mode?” Are you asking yourself “what is my purpose in life?” Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear when considering a change in your life? Are you trying to navigate a transition in your life--job, relocation, relationships, chronic illness/disability etc? Let’s face it, life doesn’t always work out the way we plan and can make us feel all kinds of different emotions. It’s ok to not feel ok all the time. We all go through challenging times in our lives.
We don’t have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. We may need to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, and an objective ear to listen, to help you discover your own underlying strengths, and to provide you with answers to your questions and help you along your journey. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul.
As we get older, we sometimes discover our beliefs, values, wants, and needs change and don't “fit” anymore with who we truly are. We often mistake growth with“finding ourselves” when what we are trying to do is return to our true self. If you find yourself needing guidance to get through a specific situation, or you are ready to move in a new direction in your life, it would be my privilege to walk beside you as you strive to live an authentic life; one that is about thriving, not just surviving. You deserve it!
