You will be both challenged and supported. Through this collaborative process we can move towards the life you desire.
The people I work with usually know what the “right things” and the “healthy things” are. They don’t understand why they don’t really enjoy their life. They are incredibly logical and feel like they should be happy, should be calm, and should be able to “figure it out”. Instead, they feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, frustrated, powerless, disappointed, misunderstood, or exhausted. They want to be more efficient, less stressed, and able to feel good about their life. I help millennials reduce their worry, anxiety, or panic attacks while increasing overall satisfaction. The process looks different with each of my clients and may include unpacking life’s heavy stuff, making peace with the past, deciphering what’s important to you, figuring out who you are or who you want to be, and/or facing fears head-on. You will be both challenged and supported. You may be “fine”. Many people started out therapy “fine”, and I have the pleasure to see them become more comfortable, more confident, and more present. It is my privilege to provide clients with knowledge, tools, new perspectives, humor, and a completely non-judgmental space. Contact me for a free phone consultation and let’s see if we can work together!
