Message to Parents & Families
What can you do when you no longer feel at home in yourself, in your daily living, in your relationships, in your life?
You might feel anxious, sad, or angry too often. Sometimes it’s the big things that throw us off balance – past and present hurts, losses, family conflict, major changes. Other times it is the accumulation of little things and we might not even know why we are overwhelmed or struggling.
Here’s the good news. Things can be better and you don’t have to go through this alone. I have over thirty years of experience helping women of all ages navigate life and improve relationships.
When you come in by yourself or as a couple, my goal is to make it okay for you to be you. That’s where we start the journey. I want to provide a place where you can learn to breathe deeply and move towards what the author Brené Brown calls “knowing you are worthy of love and belonging.”
Call today and take the first step towards restoring healthy connections and joy in your life. (630) 797-9872 x707
