Helping millennials & zoomers safely process trauma & stress. @bigmoodtherapy www.bigmoodtherapy.com

I know life feels like a complete dumpster fire lately, and navigating all of the compounding stress is beyond overwhelming. And I know you’re doing the best you can, but maybe you’re officially tapped out and need a place to process your work stress & burnout, challenging & changing family + friend dynamics, increased existential dread, isolation, or exhaustion. Or maybe you're ready to unpack that underlying trauma that's been simmering below the surface for awhile now. You deserve a safe & unfiltered space to work through that deeper past generational trauma, untangle messy relationship patterns, challenge hurtful internalized messages, & come into an awareness of automatic coping strategies that are holding you back from living your most authentic life. I'm so proud that you're here, showing up to your mental wellness journey & glow up full force. I'm ready to jump into the hard work with you, because even in the chaos, you can safely process trauma, learn how to protect your peace, have the relationships you want, and live your most meaningful life.
