You've got it together...mostly. You're a rock star at your job, you're amazing to your partner, and you love the heck out of your kids, so why does the little voice in your head STILL say "Not good enough"? You do ALL the things for everyone who needs you (because you definitely feel guilty if you don't), and on the days you're overwhelmed and running on fumes? You'll continue to push through, because saying "no" feels like letting someone down. You can't remember the last time you did something for yourself, since "self-care" sounds like selfish and "burn out" is something you passed miles ago.

Relationships can be one of the biggest blessings and also one of the biggest stresses in your life. It's amazing how quickly life can get in the way of our relationships and cause chaos in our lives. We have obligations, responsibilities and demands that we have to keep up with, while putting in work to create a successful relationship. It can be exhausting at times and things can fall apart quickly. Therapy can be helpful for not just the couple or family, but the individual. This profile is for a group practice.

You've hit the wall. Again. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts that you can't seem to break, you just can't keep pretending that everything is fine anymore. No matter how hard you try to push it away or block it out, you just can't seem to shake the pain of your past, and it affects everything that's important to you. Your confidence, your relationships, and especially how you feel about yourself all seem like they are on shaky ground. Putting what you want and what you need last has once again caught up with you. You've thought about reaching out for help but don't know where to start or who to trust.
