Many of the people I work with are highly capable, yet still struggle with anxiety, overthinking, difficulty managing emotions or relationship patterns. For some, this is tangled up with pressure to appear strong, capable, or in control. Others experience intense emotions that they don't understand and don't know what to do with.
As a depth-oriented therapist, I don't believe we can just think our way out of our patterns. We have to slow down and develop new ways of working with what we are doing and experiencing, moment to moment.
If this resonates, I'd be glad to talk. Shoot me a message and we can set up a consultation.
