HEALING IS IN OUR HUMAN NATURE

Perhaps you’ve even hit expectations, checked your career boxes, and kept moving forward, yet find yourself questioning what you want.

Therapy is your space to intentionally move towards what matters most to you, and adding to your life that feels true to who you are. Through values behavioral patterns to relationships and creative outlets, we’ll explore purpose and how it shows up in your life.

It can be so frustrating when we try being more flexible, we know the other person’s needs, but still the relationship feels out of balance or on their terms. Over time, this starts to feel unsustainable, and can lead to building resentment or pulling away.

So many factors go into how we show up in relationships. From trauma to attachment styles, and anxiety to systems in society we exist in and beyond. In therapy, we’ll strengthen your connection to your inner emotional experiences, and compassionately understand and navigate past and present relationships, so that you can show up how you really want with those in your life, and learn to let others go who can’t support your wellness.

Sometimes we learn that’s how we get things done, or that if we let off of the gas at all, we’ll certainly fail. This can even be a sign of perfectionism.

Chances are you learned to do this at some point in time, and it was probably even necessary or helpful for a while. ButI know it can take a toll on your emotions, stress levels, and self-worth when we live life with no margin of error.

In therapy, we’ll develop sustainable coping skills that feel right for you, work off of insights to build flexibility, and challenge any inner-critic, so that you can embrace the imperfections that come being human as you move through the world.

When we’re in a constant survival mode, it can be incredibly difficult to relax and let our guard down again. The worries piles up, our sleep gets impacted, we might have anger outbursts, and there never seems to be any time to just “be present.”

In therapy, we’ll work to create ways of soothing the feelings and sensations of fight or flight (and freeze) using somatic awareness, understanding the unconscious and conscious parts of our brain, and slowing down the anxious mind to make contact with the present moment. Together, we’ll explore the pathway of emotions from the triggers that feed them to the adaptive ways we process them with coping skills.
