Have you been waiting on hold trying to make a doctor’s appointment and think, “when did I become an adult?” How many mornings have you woken up and thought “here comes another day of adulting?” Navigating the world is hard enough but when you add paying bills, dating apps/relationships, school/work, and family, life can easily get overwhelming.

Many clients come to therapy out of an experience of great personal suffering. Their symptoms may be debilitating, leading to crisis. Or perhaps these exist at the periphery as a dull, irritating presence. They want relief and answers. Not only can therapy help one find relief and hope but this process also entails getting to know oneself through the intermediary of an empathic, caring relationship to another. Even in behavioral skills work, we will work towards being able to contextualize your symptoms in the broader perspective that draws in interpersonal relations, your connection to your own body, and your place in the world.

You constantly give your energy to others. It used to be so meaningful, but now it feels like you have nothing left to give. If you take any time for yourself at all, it’s clouded by anxiety and dread. Instead of rejuvenation, you blame yourself for being unable to fix things. Disconnection, overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout are your constant companions, and they prevent you from enjoying the life you truly want to live. You’ve tried so hard to fix things, like you fix everything else. But you can’t. You don’t know what else to do and can’t see how anything could change.

Adapting to new roles and making changes is exhausting, draining, and can leave you feeling lost and overwhelmed. Together, we can work to help you better manage these changes and integrate new roles - helping you feel empowered and more like yourself.
