Do you feel empty, trapped or lost? Perhaps you can identify the source of this pain. Perhaps you cannot and feel that you “should” be happier. Loved ones may give well-intentioned but, ultimately, unhelpful advice: “Just be positive! Have gratitude!”
This only leaves you feeling even more isolated and misunderstood. You feel confused about what you really want, catering instead to everyone else's needs but your own. You sense that a new, more meaningful life could be possible… but somehow it always feels just out of reach. Maybe you are close to giving up altogether.
The journey to create lasting change can be overwhelming and challenging. You don’t have to do it alone. I can help you navigate that dark night of the soul to find healing and growth through an authentic, therapeutic relationship. You are welcome here as you are, with all of your grief, pain, and fear.
I support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and the effects of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, or narcissistic abuse). I am experienced in working with gifted individuals, highly sensitive people, and introverts who often face unique struggles not commonly addressed in mainstream psychology.
