You don’t want to feel controlled by this anymore. Maybe it’s a painful past experience—despite your best efforts to move forward, it continues to weigh on you. Perhaps a chapter of life has ended and another started—a breakup, job change, loss, or new child—and you feel like your old ways of doing things aren’t working anymore. And while things might look “okay” from the outside, you don’t feel that way. Your relationships feel disconnected and even managing your day-to-day responsibilities is overwhelming some days. You know something needs to change—and you believe it’s possible—but you need some support to make that happen.

“I don’t like how that made me feel.” It’s one thing to realize when someone makes us feel badly about ourselves. And yet, it’s so much more challenging to know what to do next. Let alone if that person is a parent, boss, or authority figure. Or even a friend, partner, sibling, or loved one. Maybe you don’t want to disrupt things with them too much. But you also know what happened wasn’t okay. And you don’t want them to continue treating you that way. Or keep feeling the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that come up when they do. Your needs matter too. You have a right to feel affirmed, supported, and understood.

Our wounds have openings into some of the best parts of us. Whether it's a loss, depression, relationship change or anxiety, life can cause deep wounds that feel unbearable to endure. Having a safe space to explore your fears, insecurities, doubt, hurt, mental brain fog, apathy, anger and pain in therapy is the first step in healing those wounds.

My goal is to guide my clients to be their genuine selves, to feeling whole and complete. Helping my clients reach their fullest potential is the most rewarding feeling. The journey to being who we are rather than who others would like us to be, behaving in a manner that exemplifies self-love, self-worth, and confidence is a daily task that requires re-committing each day. The wounds of yesterday must be healed in order to move forward. I believe the client determines the direction and pace to which we accomplish this knowing all the while, self-discovery and actualization is never ending.
