Life is constantly moving and sometimes we feel lost or stuck in the movement. We may feel like a bystander in our own lives. It is normal to want to slow down, pause, reassess, but many times guilt, comparison, or even habit interfere. As your therapist, it is my hope to co-create a space where you feel empowered to reflect on what is happening around you. Is this the pace you want to move at? Is this the way you want to move, in your relationships, in your personal life, at work? What is your preference?

Are you frequently consumed by concerns about your future, career, love life, or the opinions of others? Do you find yourself trapped in repetitive cycles that you're eager to break free from and find healing? Is the pursuit of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or prioritizing others over your own needs hindering your pursuit of the life you yearn for? As we journey through life, we inevitably encounter challenges and lessons that shape our path. Our purpose in this lifetime is to rediscover and reclaim the most authentic aspects of ourselves. Through the process of healing, we shed outdated beliefs that no longer serve us.

Do you find yourself repeating patterns and dynamics in your relationships that don’t feel authentic to how you want to live your life? We all experience painful and difficult emotions but we don’t have to go through them alone. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, with the belief that your childhood, conditioning, and past experiences all influence the way you show up in your current life. Coping skills that were once necessary for survival are no longer efficient and sometimes even work against you as an adult.

Your child may be constantly questioning their decisions, doubting their choices, or worrying about the future. They might feel frustrated when coping skills that work for others don’t seem to work for them. Anxiety could be affecting their sleep, causing restlessness, irritability, or physical symptoms like stomachaches and headaches. They may avoid social situations, struggle with concentration, or have a hard time managing schoolwork and daily responsibilities. Anxiety and fear could be holding them back from trying new things or doing what’s necessary.

Is worrying waking you up at night? Does anxiety seem to sneak up on you when you least expect it, or make you feel like you can't live the life you yearn for? Are you tired of feeling so "frozen?" You're so much more than just your symptoms. Feeling anxious, frozen, or sad simply takes up too much energy that you could be using to feel happy, productive, and free. Isn't it time to get unstuck?
