Dawn Sandoval, MA, LPC

You feel like you struggle to stay the course, and yet life continues to shift and change. You are searching for higher ground, but often feel like you are sinking. No matter how hard you dig in, you may have an underlying feeling of fear or uneasiness. Regardless of what you are going through, you put on a mask that speaks differently than how you feel. Some days you walk through the pain, and look for the  sunshine, while other days it can feel overcast. Staying motivated to continue responsibilities is difficult. Self- care is an unfamiliar concept that applies to others, but not for you. Walking through each day feels redundant and disconnected. 

Relationships can be draining as trust is a difficult gift to give. You desire not to be alone, but at the  same time can feel lonely in a crowd. You put up barriers prohibiting others from getting too close. You struggle to  communicate your needs and they often go unmet.  You are interested in an integrative approach to wellness, looking at all aspects of your life collectively and finding a balance between acceptance and change. You are interested in bringing your best self to the surface, improving: your self-confidence, diminishing your anxieties, reducing your trauma, addiction concerns, chronic pain, overcoming your depression, and embracing your feelings as they come, while holding your head up high and allowing yourself to breathe a sigh of relief. 

If this resonates with you, I am here to help you navigate your journey, and walk with you along your path.  You deserve those feelings of a gratifying life and can learn to embrace your strengths. You oversee your narrative, and it’s time to write the new chapter. I look forward to hearing from you.
