Sometimes we are just at a loss. Life can be overwhelming and we all need validation that we have the strength to carry on.

Maybe you would like to regain your identity after having a child, be less worried about everything in life, or establish boundaries with others. Sometimes you just need someone to say “you’re not alone” and that “you can do this.” Our work is to embrace these challenges and fears, and to find the strength within to move forward.
