Tired of feeling like you are just in survival mode and pushing through each day? Life can feel just like too much to handle. Anxiety, ADHD, depression and overwhelm of daily demands can stop you in your tracks, and prevent you from moving towards what is important. Struggling relationships can make it hard to focus and provide a roller-coaster of feelings and be a source of constant worry. Feelings of shame and overwhelm may lead to the opposite of self-care, which can make things feel worse. No matter how stuck things feel, we can find a better way forward. All is safe to talk about in my office - only when you feel ready to.
I am deeply committed to understanding you and creating a safe environment to sort things out and access your own wisdom. I individualize treatment approaches based on your strengths and needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches of Internal Family Systems, ACT, CBT, Exposure Therapy, EFT, Dialogue Therapy, Somatic Approaches, and Trauma-informed care.
Let's find a way together to intentionally create a life that you look forward to each morning. Changing habits, healing hurts and finding inner peace is messy work. Here it is safe to share worries and hurts, take risks, make mistakes, heal, grow, regress, and try again as you move towards what is important to you in this life, while growing true self-love.
