You've been to therapy before. You know what it's like: sympathetic, supportive, validating. That's all really nice, but comments like: "You're so self-aware!" become stale after awhile. You've overcome mountains and you know that you're capable of even greater things, if only you could get out of your own way.
You may even have this creepy feeling running in the background that if you don't get to what's underneath the self-sabotage, you'll keep ruining relationships and opportunities. You're tired of regret.
You're ready to be challenged. You've made it this far, and you deserve to be appreciated for all that that's taken.

My goal every day is to offer a supportive, practical approach to therapy. Throughout my career, I’ve tended to work primarily with people who have mood or anxiety difficulties. Some are undergoing or have undergone significant life transitions such as grief from loss. Others come to me for guidance around work-related stress or burnout. And others wish to examine the patterns and practices around their substance use.

I know that you’re really good at surviving. You’ve gotten this far after all. But the things that you’ve had to do to survive - people pleasing, overthinking, overworking, overextending, hypervigilence, masking - are taking a toll. You’re anxious, exhausted, and filled with self doubt. And drinking/eating/ scrolling too much to cope. Or constantly running to attain what you think you’re supposed to chase after. And none of it is working. You may have even been to therapy before, and you've talked about your issues but you don't really feel like you've healed your issues. You feel stuck and don't know where to turn to for help.
