Overview
You may be used to handling it all on your own, but you’re probably here because you’ve had to be strong, but now… you’re exhausted. You work hard to keep it all together so people view you as confident, capable and worthy. They don’t know you’re falling apart inside, feeling stuck, frustrated, unappreciated, stressed out, and sometimes even hopeless. You aren’t feeling good enough, and you’re not happy with the direction your life seems to be going in. The most important relationships in your life are strained, and you don’t know what to do. You want change. You want to know what it’s like to really ENJOY life. You can. Looking for a therapist is hard, but it’s a step towards making a life-time investment in yourself and your life.
Can you imagine living a more balanced life? How would your relationship with your parent, yourself, partner, kids, or friends be different? Maybe you’re not exactly sure what the “different” might be, but you know you need something to change. You want to enjoy your relationships, live fully & balanced, and embrace yourself authentically. It is possible!
I help strong, but stressed and exhausted individuals like you, move from existing to living. It’s frustrating and exhausting living in that place- your world is crumbling on the inside while you’re trying to hold it all together so well on the outside. It’s draining and you don’t have to live there forever. There’s no need to try to handle it all alone.
Your journey is a personal one, so it makes sense you’d want to know more about the professional you choose to work with as you explore it. Here’s a bit about me to help you in your decision making process:
I’m an inter-racially mixed mom of 5, a spouse, a sister and a daughter. I’ve been a therapist for 15+ years and am an avid lover, learner and teacher on human behavior, sexuality, relationships and development. My specialty is interpersonal trauma work, which unfortunately, is experienced by more people than most realize.
I believe our relationships with ourselves and one another are vital to our health and sense of fulfillment in life, but experiences with trauma, anxiety, stress, betrayal and fear can negatively impact these relationships. Too many of us spend our lives internally struggling, straining and striving. It hurts us. It hurts others. It’s a pervasive cycle… but you and I both have the ability to change that, even when it often feels like so much is out of our control.
