Relationships are one of the greatest gifts in life. They are essential and can be one of the most enjoyable aspects of your life. At the same time, relationships are work and you may find yourself feeling exhausted and even traumatized by them at some point in time. The weight of feeling stuck in your relationships or dealing with past trauma can affect your ability to focus on daily living and motivation levels. You may feel like you have hit an emotional wall that you cannot climb over. Being in this stagnant state can increase fear, insecurities, and overall anxiety levels.

Throughout my life leading up to my time here at Optimum Joy, I have had a deep desire for diving into the hard spaces of life. This has taught me that engaging with the pain points of our family of origin stories and connecting them with the present day challenges of our lives can produce true growth and healing. After completing my undergraduate degree in Political Science and French, my heart for the therapeutic field grew as I worked at a nonprofit counseling center. I have seen the life-changing benefits of helping others address areas of trauma, mind-body connection, relationships, attachment styles, and personal growth.

Working together looks like making meaning of difficult experiences and finding holistic healing in the darkest moments. Our minds and bodies make sense and work together to keep people alive. We will find a deeper connection to the mind and body and understand how this connection may be responding in ways that are no longer helpful. Together we will develop a greater awareness of what these present day needs are and how we can respond to them well.
