When life begins to feel challenging and overwhelming, it can be difficult to create space for calm and stillness. We may even seek to avoid the quiet altogether, fearing the thoughts that arise or the emotions we keep buried beneath the surface. It often feels easier to distract ourselves from our thoughts or to numb and detach from the challenging emotions that inevitably emerge. Therapy can provide us with a space to turn inward and deeply connect with ourselves, allowing us to bring awareness to our patterns, better understand our needs, move towards acceptance, or even work towards change.

One of the lesser-known benefits of therapy is that beyond working through the issues at hand, it creates meaningful discussion to help you live the most authentic version of yourself. As spiritual and/or religious beings, we all have a higher purpose. Therapy is a space to support you in discovering what your purpose is, what blocks are holding you back, and how to move forward to achieve greater peace and contentment. Special focus on loss of meaning, self-exploration, lack of belonging, depression, anxiety, family trauma, and relationship concerns is provided. Young adults and clients from Eastern Europe are a great fit.

Being a human being is hard sometimes. Living in today’s world with its unique pressures and stressors. I work with women, men and non-binary individuals who grapple with perfectionism, anxiety, trauma, depression and emotional regulation. This looks different to every person but the common thread I see is a feeling of disconnection from their bodies, overwhelm from their schedules, stress or conflict in their relationships, or a deep existential questioning of themselves and a desire to have more meaning and presence in their lives and communities.

Every single person will need compassionate support, personalized guidance and wisdom, at some point in their lives. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression for a long time, then this is even more true of you. Emotions and thoughts can be confusing and even hurtful to yourself and others. Some mental states are so complex, that seem to be layer upon layer of suffering. Life can be a rollercoaster and healthy stable relationships appear to be too much work! Imagine not to be defined by your history or struggles. Imagine being able to tap into joy and inner strength at any time!

The day-to-day can feel like it’s too much sometimes. If you find yourself feeling constantly overstimulated, agitated, overwhelmed and unfocused- you are not alone. Shame may be speaking loudly and telling you that you’re the only one struggling in this way, that you are not enough. Together we can begin shifting your relationship with yourself, the inner critic, and the world around you. We can work towards finding your voice, your creativity and your authenticity even in the most challenging of spaces. It is possible to move to a place of fulfillment and purpose where you are empowered to be a compassionate ally for yourself.

Do you desire to understand yourself and your body's reactions to what has happened in your life more clearly? When we experience significant challenges in our life such as traumas, family conflict, and/or grief it can feel overwhelming as our bodies adapt to protect us from perceived and/or real danger.
