When life stressors become overwhelming, we typically turn to familiar ways of coping. We can become stuck in a cycle, almost as though we are playing a scene on repeat. It takes self-awareness and courage to interrupt this cycle, and I commend you for taking the initial step toward meaningful change.

I am committed to extending a safe lifeline. Many of the clients I serve, newcomers, students, caregivers, BIPOC professionals, sit in the financial gap where they “make too much” for public programs yet can’t sustain full‑fee private sessions. I want to bridge that gap with dignity: no labyrinthine paperwork, no shame, just a clear path to care.

The action you have made to seek help is not an easy one. It demonstrates great strength, commitment, and resiliency. The effects of trauma can leave us feeling vulnerable and unsafe long after the event itself. So often people can feel hopeless, disconnected, and ashamed. Healing these wounds are essential to developing a strong sense of self, positive self view, and safety within relationships.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or being overwhelmed? Are you feeling frustrated, doubting yourself, or unsure of what to do? Life throws us a lot of experiences, and sometimes it can be too much. Are you a neurodivergent individual (or family member) who deals with high-functioning autism (ASD) or ADHD? Are you a first responder with so much on your plate?

Life presents challenges that can create a cascade of negative thoughts and feelings. When we become absorbed in our negative thoughts and feelings, we become immersed in a world of anxiety and depression, and sometimes it's hard to find our way out of this space. I applaud you for taking your first steps in turning the tide of this cascade of thoughts, feelings, and relationship difficulties.
