Many people come to therapy having felt a chronic sense of loneliness or disconnection, having had to hide or reject parts of the self in an effort to find belonging. Therapy is, for many of us, one of the only spaces where we can allow ourselves to be fully and deeply seen without judgment or expectations. It can become an important place to safely, and with guidance, express and explore the difficult emotions and experiences that have built up over time and are now feeling heavy, overwhelming, or harmful.

As a woman, it’s so SO hard to walk in those shoes (or steel toe boots, flip flops, heels, whatever they are). You’ve been trying to do it all and be so strong. You’re amazing. And at the same time, you don’t have to sort through it alone: the toxic and codependent relationships, the body image pressure and never feeling like you’re enough, the huge plate load of things you take on every single day, and the sexual trauma or abuse that you carry as you try and just…live. It’s A LOT. And you deserve to find some peace and relief with it all. So what if all it takes is some therapy sessions to get that relief?

Many people come to therapy wondering “what is wrong with me”? It is my view that the real question is "what has happened in your life that has impacted your beliefs about yourself and your ability to cope with stressful life events"? You may notice that you seem to automatically react to situations in a way that you don't necessarily choose and question if you will ever be able to change. If you have experienced highly stressful and/or traumatic events then you will benefit from a therapeutic approach that mindfully explores your personal experiences and strengthens your resiliency to respond rather than react.
