Are you tired of feeling sad, hopeless, lost or just plain shitty? It's hard sometimes to find the energy to brush our teeth. Feeling like everything around you is falling apart and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You ask your self over and over, "Why can't I feel better?" causing you to feel so disconnected and searching for answers. Figuring out a way to quiet that voice that is telling you that you are not good enough and undeserving of good things.

I am a lesbian and out since '86.
Are you struggling with anxiety on the inside while appearing to be successful and productive on the outside? You might have old wounds from toxic relationships or childhood trauma. A lot of women I work with deal with the weight of old emotional baggage and stressors from the very real demands of their current lives. Therapy can help immensely with these things. By the time people seek therapy there may be some unhealthy coping that needs to be addressed as well. Addictions and addictive behaviors will complicate life on top of everything else. Seeking help is the best thing you can do for yourself.
