Whether it happened quickly or slowly, you find yourself overwhelmed and feeling like you can’t catch up, keep up or measure up! You aren’t sure if your environment needs to change, or you do. Both? You’re taking care of everyone around you and you’ve got nothing left to give. You’ve lost touch with yourself and aren’t sure where to go from here. Transitions keep coming in your life and you want to stop dreading every change. You dream of the day that you’re no longer bogged down by to-do lists and can just take a breath, but the world seems to keep on spinning around you. Let’s change that!

I believe that human beings have intrinsic value, strength and ability to heal. Being human can be challenging at times. Often old ways of showing up to life, relationships or managing challenges may no longer serve us and we can use some exploring and healing to shift out of stuckness into thriving.

The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

Seeking support for life’s challenges is a courageous step. Therapy is a place to explore your present thoughts, feelings and experiences, all of what are influenced by elements of your past. The core beliefs and feelings we have about ourselves create a blueprint for how we live our lives. When these beliefs are negative, they lead to feeling stuck, anxious, and unhappy. This may be influenced by present or past experiences, distressing events, unhealthy relationships, or unhelpful behavioral patterns. Staying with the familiar often feels safer, even when it is having a negative impact and is not working.

Language & words matter. We define ourselves & our worldview with our words. How do we talk to ourselves? What does our inner critic sound like? Is that voice in your mind coming from you, or someone else? Is that voice supporting your goals, or keeping you stuck? The voice in our head and the words it speaks to us are habitual; it can cause a negative cycle if not explored. Therapy is an opportunity to engage in a healing relationship with that voice in your head. I am here to support you, guide you through that journey, and help break that negative cycle.

Have you been in therapy before and it wasn't the best fit? Is this your first time searching for a therapist for yourself or for a loved one? Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be tough and it can be beneficial to have a therapist who really "gets you" by your side to navigate difficult times. Not all therapy sessions must be intense and serious! I can help you embrace the strengths you innately possess to have joy, laughter, and contentment in life.
