As we navigate our lives, we may find ourselves anxious, frustrated, or suffering from a deep sadness. Maybe there has been a sudden crisis or maybe you have been struggling. During these difficult times, many people find psychotherapy to be helpful.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You may no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as: anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You may feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

Are you experiencing challenges with feeling stuck and uncertain of your future? Do you often feel overwhelmed in achieving your desired goals? Are you finding yourself possibly taking the path of most resistance? Do you feel like you have been struggling through your journey alone? You are a high performer with perfectionism tendencies however, it feels like the more you try, the more difficult it is to achieve acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Feeling overwhelmed can often create a sense of helplessness and a sense of being out of control.

My ideal client is working to understand mental health and well-being from a higher perspective. They are committed to themselves and their healing, and are seeking out-of-the-box work to help them come home to themselves. They have likely been told throughout their lives that they are not allowed to be themselves, and this has caused self-abandonment. They are also working to learn how to be able to set boundaries, trust themselves and their own discernment, and surrender into the flow and ease of life as they embody themselves more and more each day.
