Imagine the perfect day, blue skies and the warmth of the sun, cascading across your shoulders. You breathe in the fresh air and feel a weight has been released as you exhale. This is the day you have been waiting for, a day worthy of smiling, a day dedicated just to you. You have identified your triggers and are learning to cope with your: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns or physical pain getting in the way of you leading your best, authentic life. Time seems slower and you feel more present and are mindful of the importance of the present moment.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t show up in your life the way you imagine and intend to. You fantasize about your ideal life, but unhealthy patterns keep you from showing up for yourself and those you care about in ways that don’t align with your values. It’s difficult for you to be present, which causes disruption in all areas of your life and increases your anxiety. You feel ashamed of your reaction to stress, which makes you feel lonely and disconnected. You know you need to prioritize yourself and set boundaries, but you’re fearful that this might cause another disruption, which is just too overwhelming.

Welcome! It takes an immense amount of courage to seek out therapy. When we experience trauma or hardship, our nervous systems have to figure out how to survive. Sometimes that adaptation may look like people-pleasing, restlessness, dissociation, anxiety, over-functioning, or depression (to name a few). Therapy involves identifying your learned responses that may have helped you survive, but are no longer serving you in your present life. We will work to sit alongside those unwanted patterns and make space for new ones that better serve where you want to be.

There is only one relationship we are guaranteed to have for our entire lives — and that is our relationship to ourselves. I aim to help you make it compassionate and giving, self expressing, and with appropriate boundaries as needed for you to protect your most authentic Self. I believe that all of our behaviors are adaptive; some we’ve just outgrown and they are no longer serving the best interests of our well-being. But they come from an honest place of having to adapt to circumstances which we did not create.

You question if you are the problem or if you’re at fault for the issues in your life or what happened to you. From the moment you wake, your thoughts are racing, and through much of the day, you’re plagued with flashes of intrusive memories. The constant overwhelm causes you to struggle constantly, and it feels like peace is impossible. A voice in your head tells you to “feel your feelings,” but how do you do that without spiraling? On top of your inner chaos, the people in your life walk all over you without a care. You have been hearing a lot of talk of “setting boundaries,” but worry about pushing people away.

A mixture of emotions can weigh heavily on your heart, yet you push yourself to keep moving forward. At times, the responsibilities of life can lead you to feel overwhelmed. You may be feeling anxiety, sadness, anger and isolation. You feel tired, and unmotivated, but continue pressing on for those around you. You may feel as if you are just going through the motions. If you can relate, please understand that you do not need to feel this way. Is it time to create a new life path, or new way of thinking? You can do this through the utilization of learned strategies that will help you to create the life you wish to achieve.
