myths that might be getting in your way
I'm too busy to be in therapy forever.
Agreed! My goal is to help you find a valuable pause in your day-to-day hustle to tap into your desires. Therapy is an intentional, active dialogue designed to help you practice ways to maximize the things that are already going well and build tools to disrupt the challenges. I want to send you back out into the world to practice what we're discovering at a pace that feels right for you.
[___________] is my therapy.
Therapy is therapy. You may have some excellent coping/self-management strategies and outside support; these are also not replacements or substitutes for the therapeutic process. As a professional, my goal is to create a relationship with you that creates space for processing and new learning informed by leading theory, research, and professional experience.
I know people who have it way worse than me.
This is called comparative suffering and it helps no one. Why wait to address your concerns or improve your quality of life because someone else has a different experience? We all carry big emotions and experiences: sometimes it sounds like labels or painful narratives; sometimes it looks like making big decisions, navigating major changes, or longing for something more. Our time together serves as a safe space for all of the above and assists you consider and implement growth in whatever way makes sense for you.
Maybe this is just how things will always be.
It's never too late to see if there's more to life than what you're currently experiencing. We all have room for improvement, expansion, and increasing the depth of our experiences. You're probably making some big decisions right now. Why not make them from a place in a health-oriented, empowering setting?
