You're struggling to understand what's wrong, and life feels out of control or meaningless. Maybe you had a bad experience with therapy before. Something still isn't working, and what used to get you up in the morning, just doesn't anymore. Accomplishing success ultimately brings its own problems, and now that you're almost there, the drive is going away. It's like you're doing everything right, and yet nothing is improving. Endless articles about mental health, sleep hygiene, and other topics aren't offering anything new. The change you're looking for still feels elusive.
If the same old self-care and mental health advice isn't enough, there's often a deeper disconnect that needs addressing. My therapeutic style goes there with courage, humility, and creativity. I use techniques from Internal Family Systems and somatic therapies, in an existential and experiential paradigm. "Less Judgment, More Curiosity" is my motto.
If you're ready for something new, or to really leave the past behind, get in touch with me. Let's talk more. It's time to shift from surviving to thriving, by focusing on becoming who you've always been deep down.
