Let's face it, life is not always easy, and can often feel more challenging when we go through our struggles alone. As with many new endeavors, taking the first step can be the hardest part, so I commend you on your willingness and courage to seek support. People come to therapy for many reasons, and often it is because they are seeking relief from a life challenge that is hindering their ability to feel more joy, confidence, connectedness, and inner peace.

This can’t be your life! You’ve been hanging by a thread. You can’t quiet your thoughts and the overwhelm consumes you. The tension that plagues your mind and body refuses to be ignored. Intuitively, you know something’s not right. You’re struggling to get things done – this is so unlike you. You're in a haze and unable to pinpoint when things became so unmanageable. Struggling to keep up is draining the life out of you. Now you’re the micro-manager, clinging to control and scared to let go. You’re an emotional baggage claim, harboring all the emotions you never processed. You resent feeling this way. Something has to change.

You might be looking for support to manage a challenge that has come your way. This is a wise and life affirming choice. I find that obstacles arise as a way of offering an invitation to develop as human beings. It definitely doesn’t look and feel that way at first, but, as we look back on experiences, we know this is so. Meeting that invitation head on by having the neutral and clear guidance of a trained third party can make all the difference.

As a neurodivergent or queer individual in today's society, you feel pressured to conceal your true self, anxious about potential rejection if you express yourself authentically. You often mimic others to fit in, hide your true self, and strive for perfection to gain acceptance. Simply for being yourself, you're labeled as "weird," "strange," or "different," which deepens feelings of isolation. Whether you're exploring your neurodivergence, gender, or sexuality for the first time or grappling with understanding your needs, there is a path forward from surviving to thriving.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.
