Hey there! Congratulations on taking the first step to finding a therapist. It tends to be the hardest - acknowledging that things aren't going so well requires honesty, self-awareness, and humility. Or an "admittance of failure" as some might describe it. At least that's what it feels like. I assure you that you didn't fail and you're not a failure, no matter how strong those feelings might be. It's the system that's flawed; it drowns us in unrealistic expectations and superficial comparisons, causing us to feel overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, lonely, and unfulfilled.

Life can be overwhelming. Compassionate support and gentle guidance in times of stress, difficulty, and transition is a gamechanger. Maybe you are struggling to adjust to motherhood or the demands of parenting, or you are reeling after a significant loss, or you (or your child) are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma that are interfering with your day-to-day life. You want to feel more like yourself again, and less out of control, and know that you need some help to get through this.
