Individuals

If you feel out of balance, you’re not alone.

Are you someone who, after getting back from a gathering, runs over all of the “stupid” things you said?

Perhaps you wake in the morning and are filled with the thought that this day is going to suck… and then it does.

Maybe you find yourself repeating patterns that you told yourself you were going to change.

Vulnerability, shame, anxiety, depression…

Guess what… you’re human. Congratulations! Now… what are you going to do about it?

Imagine yourself being who you want to be.

What if you defined yourself as you want and then felt brave enough to live that life?

Perhaps you would feel more grounded and empowered…

Perhaps the constant dialog running crazy in your head about not being enough would slow down or even stop…

This is where we begin to reclaim and recalibrate.

You know the barriers to keeping you from reaching out; you feel them every time you justify why you don’t need help, because the same painful feelings arise.

Like knowing your tooth hurts and on the way to the dentist it stops hurting. You cancel the appointment only to wake in the night with an unrelenting reminder that you need to get help.

I understand that it’s uncomfortable and awkward. However, when we team together to push through and discover a new side of your struggle, you will have not only a new understanding – you will have relief. Then you realize it was worth the risk.

By taking steps to better understand your suffering, you reduce the impact suffering has had on not only your life, but in the lives of those who love you. The unfolding is amazing.

Let me team up with you…

In therapy, we’ll explore solutions to your challenges and rewrite your personal narrative in a way that reflects more accurately the person you want to be.

We’ll address reoccurring problematic themes.

By exploring past hurts and fears, we begin to uncover barriers to living life more in line with your vision of a desired life.

I’ll also challenge you to reach for a life filled with more confidence and less anguish.

In the beginning, we will work to establish a safe environment…

…to explore what has been keeping you from being who and how you want to be.

We will look at your family of origin, social connections, and how your current issue has impacted you. We’ll explore what you have attempted thus far to free yourself from the cycles you desire to change and consider new options.

All of this is done by me exploring with you in a nonjudgmental connection. I get that being human has its down sides, and it’s ok.

Once clear on the main issue, we will begin to consider the most appropriate approaches to shift things. By understanding patterns and challenging new approaches to problematic interactions, things begin to take shape.

Much like loosening of muscles, there becomes more room to breathe.

We will even practice how to breathe.

There then comes a time when those challenges you once found so problematic become manageable and with that comes a sense of confidence.

We work to solidify the growth. Typically, the things we struggle with show up in other arenas, but with new skills you are better able to express your thoughts and feelings in a way that others not only hear you, but are open to understanding you.

Let me help you establish a new footing…The step toward a more fulfilled life…

Have you ever considered the level of vulnerability it takes to say hello to someone on the street? What happens if you say hello and they don’t wave back?

Most often I hear people say something like, “What did I do to her?” or “What the hell is his problem?” Why take the risk only to be shot down and left feeling embarrassed? So, what’s my point?

This is my point: I understand that to step toward a more fulfilled life can be scary and destabilizing. Being who you want to be regardless of the swords and arrows of our modern life requires trust and strength.

Let’s walk together toward potential. It’s my honor to join my clients in striving to brave the fears of life to create a secure foothold in which to launch.

Reach out, say “hi,” and have a no-obligation conversation with me to see if we’re a fit: (802) 349-8591.
