Stuck. Trapped. Controlling. Anxious. Over it. Apathetic. Do you find yourself resonating with these words? Maybe you feel yourself enraged at little things your partner or kids do, and then hating yourself after you snap. Perhaps you used to get excited about a weekend brunch, meeting a friend for a coffee, or strolling Target alone - but now you only feel apathetic and empty. What if you could find your spark again? Does that sound possible? Maybe going back to where you used to be isn’t even your goal: maybe your goal is the ability to be present, without nagging anxieties and crippling depression. Either way, therapy can help.
I work with people who are sick of their same old stuff. You recognize your own patterns, you know the feeling of ‘this isn’t working’ and you’re done with it. You’re ready to face hard past truths, look at what current stories you might be believing about yourself or others, and find where the tension is living so you can address it and enjoy life again.
Digging around in the beliefs, struggles, and fears you hold can be painful and exhausting. You’ll have me by your side, witnessing the work, pain, joy and growth that will inevitably occur. I’ll be a mirror for you to see where you’re at and help you plan where you want to go, and I'll be honored to do so. Reach out. Let’s get scheduled and get started.
