Do you move through life ashamed of who you really are, believing you're unlovable at your core or that you're not enough - for your parents, your partners, your friends, or the world at large? These beliefs can keep you feeling stuck and alone, or even cause conflict with people you care about. A therapist is a safe person who can help you see past the lies that your anxiety, depression, and trauma tell you about yourself, so that you can see yourself with new eyes and learn to love and accept yourself as you are. Embracing yourself without judgment makes it easier to cope with life stress and conflict and to heal from trauma.

Today many people are wondering what in the world is happening out there. People seem to be separating into two very different camps; and have lost the ability to consider point of view except for their own. Families are divided, friendships ended, as we hang on to the diminishing picture of how things used to be. There is no returning to how it used to be, everything is changing. Helpers such as myself can offer a space of no judgement to explore how to navigate these times. One of my favorite sayings is "just when you think it's falling apart, it's really falling together." Does this resonate with you? If so, I may be your helper.

Has anxiety or depression become an everyday companion? Do you feel like food has taken over your life? Are you missing out on important events or activities because you can’t focus on anything outside of how you look or what others might be thinking about you? Maybe you’ve been struggling with self-criticism or setting appropriate boundaries with yourself or others. Life is hard enough without us getting in our own way. You deserve to live a life that aligns with your values or priorities; a life filled with joy and success, however you want to define it.

Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed, feel stuck, and hopeless. Sometimes it can feel as though things keep piling up against us and it can be hard to feel complete. Some people may experience this emotionally, others more physically. Different things trigger these responses in us and make it hard for us to thrive. Whether it is the pandemic, trauma, depression, anxiety, family or relational conflict, self-esteem issues, racial injustice, or grief, having an outlet to make space for this discomfort can help alleviate the pain and move you towards a place of healing.
