You have tried so many things to feel better about yourself but nothing is working long term. You feel frustrated, confused, and even overwhelmed. Your friends and family give you advice that doesn’t help and you’re left feeling like no one gets it. Life may even feel hopeless. You begin to ask yourself if something is fundamentally wrong with you. I get it. I’ve been there and so have many of my clients. As a therapist, I want to help you create a life where your friends and family are asking, “Wow, what are you doing differently? You seem so alive and engaged in life.”

You’re comfortable with seeing someone online, because you use a computer or your smart phone all the time, and it just makes more sense with your busy schedule. You’re not necessarily looking for long-term therapy, but you know that you could benefit from someone to check-in with on a regular basis… a counselor who is solution-oriented and future-focused. You're looking for existential, dialectical behavioral, psychodynamic, narrative, cognitive behavioral, and/or family-centered counseling.

Have you lost your passion? Are you tense all the time, always on edge, maybe you struggle to get through the day because your anxiety is so bad.

I’ve found most people are tired of listening to their shame voice. It’s the voice of “should” and “must”, which says if you don’t do as is expected, you aren’t good enough, you’re broken, or you’re unlovable. And many have lived with that voice for so long, they’ve assumed it to be an authentic voice, rather than an outside one. You want to be free of the unrealistic expectations put onto you by yourself or others. You crave a little more connection, and a lot less judgment.
