Life feels different than you thought it would.

You may be moving through experiences that feel confusing or hard to explain. Maybe old patterns still shape your life, or recent changes have stirred feelings you did not expect. This is a place to slow down, explore your inner world, and feel supported as you make sense of what is happening inside you.

  • It is hard to know what to do anymore when your inner world feels this intense. You are seeking a way out and new directions for your future.

  • Pain from your past may still influence your present. It can surface in quiet or surprising ways. You’re unsure why some situations keep stirring up such strong emotions. It feels confusing and hard to explain. You do not have to make sense of it alone.

  • You may feel like you are only getting through each day, doing what you must without feeling connected to your life. Something in you knows this is not enough anymore. You’ve been applying the coping skills you’ve been taught, but you’re still getting stuck. You’re frustrated and tired. You want to feel present, alive, and able to move toward something that matters.

Hi, i’m Dr. hillis-mascia.

I believe you can find relief from the pain & reclaim your life.

I work with people who want to have meaningful transformation and make lasting changes in their lives. You may be carrying experiences that feel complex or multilayered. Or perhaps you have experiences that feel deeply rooted and have shaped you in ways that have never been fully understood.

In our work together, we slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside you, explore relational patterns, and think in-depth about your life story.
