You’ve spent your whole life pushing too hard and feeling unable to stop. Lately your body and mind are no longer cooperating, and you can’t do everything you used to. You’re not lazy, you’re not broken, and this doesn’t have to be your forever. You need to find a way to live that doesn’t feel like you’re always fighting and never getting ahead.

You’re doing what you’ve always done- what you’ve always had to do – to get through the day. It used to be easier. You didn’t have to think about it as much. Maybe you’ve spent so much time on autopilot that it feels like you can no longer “turn off” at the end of the day. You feel shame that you’re not able to perform at the level you used to.

You’ve done impressive things in your life. You overcame hardship, succeeded in your career, and threw yourself into achieving. The satisfaction never lasts. You find a reason that your achievement wasn’t impressive. Or, you neglect to celebrate in your rush to reach the next level. As soon as you reach the goal you move the goal posts further away.

Some days it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning and you think about running away from your life. You wonder if starting over would make things easier. But, new starts somehow lead you to the same place. You are still burnt out, exhausted, have nothing left at the end of the day. You wonder if it’s possible to reclaim joy in your life. Or maybe to claim it for the first time.

You can:

• Find joy again

• Build a life that feels balanced and meaningful

• Learn to give yourself grace while still working to craft a different life - one that feels authentic and purposeful

• regain energy and excitement about your future

I help clients build a life that honors their hopes, dreams, and values. Together we’ll figure out what you’re ready to leave in the past and what to add to get to a future that feels EXCITING. Maybe you already know what you want and you need help figuring out the best way forward. Whatever stage of the journey you are in, we can work together to figure out the path that is best for you.

It’s important to have options in the therapy room. I offer in-person, virtual, and walk-and-talk services to best accommodate client needs. My office is in a residential neighborhood that offers a high level of comfort and privacy.

Our first sessions will explore what is bringing you to therapy and what you would like to accomplish. We’ll talk about important aspects of your past that may be impacting your present. We’ll explore what you’re good at and what you enjoy. It's important to understand what is going right as much as it is to identify what needs to change. Often the best way to grow is to leverage existing strengths to overcome barriers.

Next we’ll work together to determine a path to achieving your goals.

This could involve

• Learning new skills to manage emotions and difficult situations

• Figuring out how to communicate effectively with others

• Creating deeper self-knowledge

• Identifying changes that can make daily life smoother

I like to tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. What works for one person may not work for another. I like to be flexible in my approach and adjust as we work together to figure out how to best support you.
