You know there are changes you want to make to improve your life, your relationships and overall well being, but are unsure of how to get there, leaving you feeling stuck in patterns of self criticism and self doubt. You find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, negative thoughts and fear of judgment and are unsure of how to manage it all. You work hard to not let others see these parts of you, which keeps you from living authentically and forming meaningful connections. Despite your best efforts, you find yourself caught in ruminations over the past or fears of the future that make it hard for you to live fully in the here and now.
Change is possible! You want to live more in the present, build authentic connections in your relationships, and release yourself from the difficult thoughts and feelings that have been holding you back. You're looking to feel more grounded in your daily experiences, improve your mood and feel your emotions differently. My goal is to help you get there!
My clients appreciate my ability to relate with them beyond the problems they experience. Feedback I consistently receive is that I ask really good questions and help my clients feel safe to answer honestly! I know finding a therapist this way can feel strange, so I invite you to check out my website for more about me & to schedule a free consult today!
