You Are Not Alone.

• Does it feel like you are often frightened and can't figure out why?  
• Does your sadness seem bottomless, never ending?  
• Do you feel like you will shatter, break or never put yourself back together again if you face that terrible thing that happened to you?  
• Is there an emptiness inside that drugs, alcohol, sex or other behaviors used to fill but that no longer does?  
• Do you feel like you have to hide how you really feel or like you live a double life?

Despite how alone you feel in this battle, know that you are not.  The shadow cast by trauma, addiction and other unhealthy behaviors lies to you and makes you believe that you are alone and like no one else could possibly understand.

There is a way out, you just can't do it alone.  

You need help in finding a new path that leads out of the cycle and deserve to have someone by your side as you walk through that fear. No person wants to suffer, but I understand that sometimes the fear of change can seem worse than staying in the same patterns.   I have helped many people who have asked these questions find their way out of their cycle of suffering, moving out of the bonds of their past and into the truth that lies within all of us. This can lead us into living a more authentic, free and whole-hearted life.
