“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well” -Diane Ackerman

Have anxiety and stress been weighing you down, keeping you from engaging in what matters most? Balancing the demands of work, relationships, and self has left you feeling depleted. Work is no longer rewarding. Home used to be a safe haven, a happy place filled with love, but now it is just one more stressor.

You may feel overloaded, consumed, and fatigued by all the personal and professional decisions you have to make and the responsibilities you carry on a daily basis. Your thoughts may cycle endlessly around work or home issues. Your personal relationships might be suffering due to lack of presence in them. You may be feeling that between work and home, you are struggling to keep it all together.

Maybe you and your partner have lost your spark. In the beginning, you felt seen and heard. Now, you find yourselves in a pattern of negativity, blocked communication, and disconnection.  You wonder, will my partner and I ever reconnect emotionally and/or physically. You want to feel closeness again but fear and doubt weigh heavily on your heart and mind.

Maybe you are a mom who no longer recognizes the woman you are now. You thought being a mother would bring you joy and fulfillment, but instead you have been thrown into survival mode. Anxiety and stress have left you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and questioning your identity, self worth, and purpose. You want to find your voice, make time for yourself, and live with purpose and joy.

Therapy with me is a safe space to rediscover connection to self and others, purpose, and meaning. In the therapy room, I aim to embody a genuine, open, and nonjudgmental stance that will allow for you to discover your own path forward towards meaningful relationships and purposeful living. I am committed to meeting you wherever you are and to helping you reconnect with self and others. Together, in individual or couples therapy, we will work to help you rekindle your relationships, discover your authentic self, prioritize your personal and professional wellness, and uncover your path forward.
