If there’s anything we can count on, it’s that we are constantly navigating what it means to adapt to the changes life brings our way. Some of this change is positive. Some of it is so painful. Some we have control over. And some is thrust upon us in the most unfair ways imaginable. Therapy is one of the few places dedicated to helping you adapt to your unique challenges- so you can uncover what you need in order to live with more daily satisfaction and joy. And if you are a busy person wearing many hats, teletherapy can be the easiest way to balance caring for yourself with your other responsibilities.

Something’s happened. It was a big, terrible, life-changing event. Or maybe it was a million little things that add up to everything just being hard and heavy all the time. You try to avoid reminders, but sometimes you just can’t. The memories flood your thoughts, wash through your emotions, and weigh down your body. Your relationships are suffering. It’s difficult to focus. Your mind, heart, and body are just not at ease. Swinging between autopilot and survival mode feels out of control. You just want to be able to act on your values.
