Do you find yourself feeling fine one moment and suddenly you're overwhelmed by distressing thoughts or confusing emotions? Do you feel like your body has been hijacked by sensations that you can't identify or pinpoint? Do you find yourself disconnected from your life and those things you once enjoyed doing? Have you ever experienced or seen something in the past that now invades your life on a daily basis? Have you ever just wanted to hide away from everything? I know that feeling and I'm telling you right now, you're not alone.

Most of us want to live our best life, yet so many of us feel like we can’t quite get there. Something always seems to be standing in the way. If this is true for you, maybe this leaves you feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected or critical of yourself. Maybe you are struggling with past trauma or addiction issues that just won’t let go. You’ve tried talk therapy. Maybe you’ve even tried 12 step programs or self help workshops. Nothing seems to get you the momentum you desire to get you past your past. You want change, you crave understanding and better relationships. The question is…how do I get there?

**I am currently 100% telehealth (Zoom/phone).** Psychotherapy is a journey of discovery. It is a walk toward the self. The purpose of psychotherapy is to assist the patient with knowing the Self: their intrinsic goodness, wisdom and strength found within. For women and couples, this requires a setting aside of assumptions about the self and others in order for curiosity to emerge. In psychotherapy, we explore what brings meaning to life and what creates value. We ask, “Do my actions bring me closer to the person I want to be?” As I assist the patient with shoring up coping skills we also explore the wondrous road back to the Self.

Your brain is a time machine. Anxiety throws you into the future, and it is never a future you actually want, yet you spend so much time worrying, catastrophizing, and mentally preparing for atrocities that are not likely to occur. The same goes for depression, shame and guilt, you are pulled back in time by old negative beliefs that weren’t yours to begin with. Hyper vigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, dissociation, these too may keep you in the past. Kurt Vonnegut’s famous science fiction novel, “Slaughter House-five,” describes a soldier in the war zone becoming “unstuck in time.” This is what trauma feels like for many people.

Sit down with a good therapist and it can change your life. It changed mine. Maybe you are struggling with a seemingly unsolvable problem or repeating pattern of behavior. You're not where you want to be in life or in work, you don't feel the way you want to feel, your relationships are troubled, or something seems to undermine your efforts. I work with people who feel stuck--sad, isolated, frightened, anxious, angry, confused, disconnected, hopeless, unlovable. Sometimes you just need a hand finding the doorway to a better life.

If we are lucky in this life we will experience many inner deaths, each an opportunity to shed the scaly skin of yesterday, to embrace our own expansion, and enter a next dimension of life. If we fail to die, we fail to grow. Sadly, we have lost the ritual container that holds our rites of passage and without the containment and guidance that goes with it many of us feel lost, hopeless, deficient in some way and without a sense of belonging. Therapy in the depth tradition has become a space to compassionately witness and accompany individuals in the alchemical process of healing and growth.

Being human isn't always easy, and when life gets complicated and becomes challenging, therapy can help offer tools to navigate through a crisis while providing you a deeper exploration of yourself. Problems in relationships often come from old ways of coping that served you in the past, but now may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change.
