We can't change the past, but we can try to understand it. Perhaps more importantly, we can decide how we want to live in the present. What is it that is keeping you from experiencing greater meaning and fulfillment in life?

We often think that being mentally healthy means to be happy more often than not. Some of us fear judgement about sharing anything but positive life experiences. Entertainment such as social media sites, fool us into thinking that others have more than us, are always happy and enjoying their lives, which can increase feelings of inadequacy, isolation, and loneliness. The reality is that life gives all of us experiences that can cause stress, sadness, insecurities, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and even suicidal thoughts. For some of us, genetics play a role in increased levels of anxiety and/or depressive symptoms.

Feeling lost, stuck, or nothing at all? Wondering how you got to this point or how you can get past it? Let's start with this assumption: All people -at any point in time- are doing the best that they can with the resources available to them. Starting in infancy we develop ways to express our feelings and meet our needs, which can have a profound impact on how we interact with people and go through the world. Often skills that we developed at these early stages in our lives can become unhelpful as we transition to new stages. In therapy we can explore the question: “How is the past playing out in the present?” in a safe space.

It's more common than we recognize to feel depleted or lost. Sometimes life has a way of challenging us, pushing our limits or asking us to expand even when we're not sure we can. To navigate these uncertainties, including the possibility of failure, we need support - to be authentically seen and accepted for who we are without judgement. Though it may be uncomfortable, having your experiences validated can ultimately be liberating, and I am committed to helping you go there. Whether it be past or present, how to get started or what the solution looks like, we will figure it out, together.
