- If anger, trust or frustration is impacting relationships and lives, let's talk
I started working with people in crisis and those facing daily struggles 20 years ago.
I wanted to create my own space after heading and working for several well-known agencies in this industry. I saw men, women, and families struggle to seek support too often. They sometimes missed service criteria or had clashing work hours. This is why I offer flexible hours to accommodate real-life schedules.

Anyone can feel anxious about the past or thinking about the future and present. It might stem from childhood, recent events, or everyday stresses.
If it feels off, it’s worth exploring.
We can work through it together with practical techniques that work.
Most of us feel emotions of anger and frustration, as they’re natural emotions. When we are overwhelmed, they can create a harmful cycle sometimes. Whether from childhood or recent events, unprocessed anger can linger. If it impacts your wellbeing or relationships, it may be time to work through it.
Let’s explore healthier ways to process and move forward.
Sadness, grief, and loss are natural parts of being human. Even with support, we can feel lonely. When these feelings interfere with daily life, it’s important to reach out. There's no right way to grieve—if it feels heavy, it matters.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
Support is here when it becomes too much.

If you have tried everything else, Somatic work might be something that's the missing piece.
