One of the deepest forms of suffering we create for ourselves is believing, “Something is wrong with me.” Chronic self-judgment, depression, anxiety, and shame can make it challenging to live with balance and purpose. Suffering is often worsened by isolation and disconnection from our emotional pain. Feelings of inadequacy make it difficult to be at home in our own body, heart, and mind, and keep us from living and loving life fully. Often, the first step toward healing is a trusting, respectful, non-judgmental, and caring therapy relationship.
In our work together, I'll guide you towards uncovering patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that may be hindering your growth. By utilizing evidence-based techniques, we can explore how past experiences, including unresolved childhood issues and developmental trauma, might be influencing your present struggles.
You deserve to work with a therapist with whom you feel safe, supported, yet compassionately challenged. Whether you are looking for help with disconnection and loneliness, navigating your identity, building strong relationships, and managing stress, counseling can help. We can begin by getting to know each other in a free 15-minute phone consultation.
