“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head
of what it’s supposed to be.”
― Socrates

Something doesn’t feel right

Sort of like having your underwear on backwards (yes, I have a sense of humor!), life can feel out of whack. Something’s gotten twisted. Life is uncomfortable or painful or just not what you imagined it to be. And you can’t figure it out by yourself.

Dreams haven’t quite panned out. The goals you’ve met aren’t as satisfying as you’d hoped they’d be. The mind circles back to the same worries and frustrations, the same conundrum that you can’t solve.

Time is passing by. When will you get to where you want to be?

What you don’t talk about

People don’t often talk about their mental or emotional hang-ups. You don’t wear a sign on your chest naming the internal struggle you face. So it feels lonely, secretive, and daunting.

But being human includes facing discomfort, pain, and negative feelings. The belief that you should be able to figure these feelings out alone is what keeps you stuck.

It’s okay to see the mess

Imagine being able to put it all out there to someone who will validate what you are feeling and help you understand it. Imagine a place where you’re encouraged to bring the mess.

We all want to be heard and understood.

Therapy is exactly that – a place to unload all the thoughts and feelings you’ve been trying to make sense of on your own. A place to slow down, focus on you, and really look at what’s at play.

We’ll sort it out

I create a space for you where the unpacking happens and clarity emerges. I help you identify the beliefs you hold about yourself and the world that are on auto-pilot, keeping you on the hamster wheel. We will collaborate to peel back the layers, sift through the feelings, and tweak the things that aren’t working.

Just like a music teacher or sports coach can identify technical issues that hold back a performance, a therapist reveals your persistent themes and worries brought up in your sessions that you may not have the awareness to understand on your own. Understanding your emotional tendencies helps you feel more in control.

There’s no shame in asking for help.

Stop struggling and start thriving. You get one life.
