You have big responsibilities! — With little time and even less energy! You may feel as though you are being pulled in many directions or juggling different roles - such as student, worker, caregiver, or provider. You may go through times when you feel distressed, confused, and empty. You may have lost a sense of connection to who you are, what you want out of life, and how to show up for others because of burnout, stress, and overwhelm!  

I too have felt blindsided and felt as though I was losing control; it can be frightening! I believe we all have the innate potential to move forward in ways that are meaningful and purposeful. You cannot always change your circumstances or environment, and yet there is power in acknowledging where they end and where you begin. We can take the steps forward together at your pace, moving toward wellness, empowerment, and a sense of confidence.

I will offer a flexible structure for our journey together. It may look something like this:

  1. Getting to know you, your values, and what barriers or challenges you are facing.

  2. Create goals together of what you hope to achieve.

  3. Develop tools and resources relevant to your needs.

  4. Promote reflection, insight, and processing of emotions.

Our journey is intended to move you forward - to where you want to go! I invite you to click the Get Started Now button to contact our Intake Coordinator and ask for me (Anna). I look forward to connecting with you!
