The First Step Forward
Does this feel familiar? You . . .
Are idealistic and driven, sometimes to the point of perfectionism and inner criticism
Often feel depleted giving so much to others that there’s little left for yourself
Work hard to please others and fulfill duties, yet still feel like you should be doing more
Simultaneously (and paradoxically) feel both “not enough” and “too much”
Think so intensely and feel so deeply that sometimes it's difficult to contain it all
Ask BIG questions of life — but end up with more uncertainty than direction and clarity
That's a lot! I get it. I've been there, and so have many of my clients.
We all struggle — it's a common, even an expected part of being human. Often, we grow from challenges. Other times, you might feel totally stuck and unable move forward. Maybe you notice that your typical solutions and ways of coping just aren't working anymore. In that limbo between your past and unknown future, you've lost hope, confidence, and trust in yourself. You feel anxious, depressed, disconnected, and stressed in your relationships... even deeper, maybe you're questioning who you are, what you're doing, and where to go. At a crossroads, you wonder, “Now what?”
Now is the time... Contact me if you want to:
-
Create a more compassionate, accepting, and trusting relationship with yourself
-
Feel empowered to create healthier boundaries and balance in your relationships
-
Build and refine your inner strengths to navigate life with more confidence
-
Live life with more purpose, meaning, intention, and alignment
-
Simply put — feel better
Is therapy right for me? Why do people go to therapy, anyway? How do I choose a therapist?
There are countless reasons people seek therapy, since all people are unique with different needs, goals, and paths. No two clients are exactly alike (nor two therapists). However, at its core, therapy makes space for the universal challenge of being human and assists in meaningful change.
People usually seek therapy when they desire a change in life, or they hope to better understand themselves or a situation. This may present in big, broad strokes: "I want to heal from past trauma and break unhealthy relationship patterns." — or in more specific, fine lines: "I need some concrete and immediate help with these recent panic attacks!" In my practice, I work with big and small, the macroscopic views and microscopic details that paint the full picture of life.
Therapy is a space for you feel heard, supported, and strengthened by someone who is in your corner. Research indicates that the strength and quality of the relationship between a client and therapist is incredibly important and a primary factor in successful therapy — more so than a specific theory, modality, or technique. If you feel we might work well together or have questions about what it's like to work with me, please reach out to schedule an initial call. Let's talk!
Why Video?
Video Therapy in California, Oregon, and New Mexico
Remember at the beginning of the pandemic, when we were facing "unique and challenging times" and struggling with the "new normal"? Yep, I was right there with ya. Literally overnight, I moved all of my in-person appointments to video and learned an entirely new way of practicing therapy. Years later, it turns out the transition ended up being a huge benefit for clients, therapists, and the entire field of therapy. What began as a necessity turned into more avilability and access to mental health services.
Telehealth/video therapy is effective and convenient. Clients can attend sessions easily since location and distance aren't limiting factors. It's a practical alternative for clients with mobility concerns and a flexible option for those with busy schedules. You're a young teen, can't drive yourself yet, and don't have transportation to my office? No problem! You're a professional, you work late and battle evening traffic, so you'd like to schedule a session during your afternoon break? I got you!
While video therapy offers many benefits, it may not be a suitable format for everyone. Please contact me to discuss your needs and see if this might be a good fit for you. I use a professional and secure video platform that is HIPAA compliant.
