Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life. Finding your authentic life and authentic relationships is within reach.
At Authentic Living Therapy I offer a custom approach for each client! We start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I will help you put a plan in place to help you move forward. You don’t need to have it all figured out—therapy is about empowering you to live authentically and move forward with clarity.
Do you struggle with a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships and ability to function? Do you feel exhausted and confused as to find your authentic self and life? Do you have hope that life could just feel more fulfilling? Now, more than ever adult individuals and couples are ready to make a change to discover their true selves!

Along with employing an eclectic approach to therapy, my primary focus is on the therapeutic relationship between the client and me. Research indicates that this relationship is the most vital aspect of the therapeutic process. I encourage clients to trust themselves in discovering what works best for them, and if that means finding a better fit elsewhere, that's perfectly okay.
