Even without a pandemic, life can present with struggle, hardship, or overwhelming challenges. We all have many parts, some react, some retreat, some feel stuck, and some feel resigned to life's circumstances. All of our parts are well-intended, but sometimes they cast a shadow, and all we see is one part of ourselves. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, generalized stress, hopelessness, or relationship issues, obstacles don't have to define you. We will help you build upon strengths, gain new perspective, redefine stories that no longer fit, and form a stronger, healthier connection with self and others.
