Jennifer Marks

Taking the first step towards your journey of healing can be a difficult decision to make. Opening the path to what has brought us deep suffering can be scary and at the same time, exactly what we need in order to begin to build a life grounded on what is important to us. It is easy to lose sight of of these things when we spend our time trying our hardest to get rid of or avoid our pain. My hope is that I am able to guide you on this journey to find a clearer path.

Shelly Crosby

You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and tired of feeling anxious and on edge all the time. You've thought about calling a therapist, but you're worried that no one can understand what you're feeling or what you've been though. You think you should be able to handle it all on your own, but things aren't getting better. Deep down, you know that it is time to ask for help. Even if you've felt this way for a very long time, it is possible to feel better... You don't have to do this alone.

They want to discard harmful old patterns, have more agency, and reach for their joys rather than fleeing from fears.
