"Whether we're seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of unconditional openness to all that arises. Peace isn't an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth, it's an experience that's expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened."
- Pema Chodron

Hi, I'm Kristy.I work with people who feel stuck in a life that feels unsatisfying, disconnected and self-destructive to develop self-awareness, stop being self-critical, and make meaningful change so that you can drop the shame, feel more confident, and experience more fulfilling relationships, and ultimately achieve inner peace.

Imagine a life where...
- You feel like your day-to-day life is aligned with what's most important to you
- You have a sense of clarity about who you are and what you need to feel okay
- You're able to make peace with the past, whether that's things that have happened to you; or things you've done that do not feel aligned with the person you know you really are
- You spend much less time replaying the past, much less time worrying about the future, and much more time being present in the moment
- You are able to make the necessary changes in order to feel more in control and more at peace
...peace is possible.
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." |

You've had ideas about how you should feel, what your life should look like, and how people are supposed to deal with stress and emotional pain. You have been trying to live up to certain expectations and it's making you feel broken. Everything looks okay from the outside, but it's all becoming too much to keep inside. And it's just not working anymore.
You're experiencing signs of depression and/or anxiety and you're often stressed. You have been trying to ignore, numb and forget, but you ultimately feel worse. You realize you're drinking, smoking weed or totally zoning out in other ways, just to dull the pain.
You feel misunderstood in your relationships or like no one really knows you. You question if you're too sensitive or care too much. You crave meaning, purpose and more of a sense of control... or maybe it's a nagging for more freedom. You wonder if it's the things that happened in the past that are getting in the way of having what you want in the present.
The shame of it all is hard to shake and you're wondering if it's time to give therapy a try, or maybe revisit it after some time away.
