We have all felt it at one time or another. Lost. Alone. Uncertain and hesitant. Less than. The life that we want is just out of reach. In the modern world greater connectedness often rings hollow and false. We want to be connected. To be seen. To be known, deeply, authentically, for who we are in our core. We weren't born to feel the way we do, but for something more. Something better. Something we can achieve together.

We are not victims of this life. We wake up everyday with choices we can make. Life is a journey that should enhance who we are and should help us grow personally and professionally. I truly believe that events in life ‘‘happen for you, not to you.’’ When we adapt that mentality, we are able to utilize the obstacle in our lives as opportunities to grow and enhance our existence. In treatment I help my clients process past events that occurred in their lives in order for them to understand how those events affected their lives and shaped their existence.

You've been rotting in bed and now here you are, looking for a therapist. When you are hit with feeling overwhelmed, your go-to response is to people-please. However lately, you find yourself saying that you are a burden because you just can't do it all. When you have been swept up by emotions, feeling truly understood by others is a foreign experience. Sure, you are used to doing whatever needs to be done, yet secretly, your heart is aching for someone to consider how you are feeling for once. But then you stop yourself from reaching out because you don't want to look like you don't have it all together.
