Therapeutic Focus:
Recover & Thrive
Have you been struggling with anxious feelings or a depressed mood that don’t seem to get better? Are painful memories or regrets weighing you down? Have you experienced a change or a loss that’s especially difficult to handle? Are you frequently exhausted–-and tired of feeling tired? Have your ways of coping stopped working or begun to do more harm than good? Do you feel like you’re merely surviving instead of thriving?
We can work together to help you deal with distressing feelings, challenging events, and the weariness that comes from trying so hard to cope. We can discover and remove the barriers to healing that have been in your way so that you can truly recover and experience a genuine, satisfying life.
Be Authentic
Are you struggling to figure out what you truly feel, want, and need? Have you been worrying a lot about disappointing others or striving to meet their expectations of you? Do you feel like your job or your hobbies or your goals are just not you? Does your life appear from the outside to be pretty good, but you’re still not happy?
For a lot of reasons, it can be challenging to live a life that feels authentic. We can work together to help you fully know who you are, what you value, and how to build a life that suits you.
Enjoy Better Relationships
Do you long for close, loving relationships but struggle to make that happen? Are your relationships with family or friends conflicted or distant rather than warm, safe, and close? Are you in a romantic relationship that is unsatisfying and you can’t figure out how to make it better? Do you feel stuck in a relationship and don’t know what to do? Or do you want to find a romantic partner but keep ending up in relationships that just don’t work?
We can work together to identify and remove the barriers that keep you from connecting to others in a satisfying way. You may already recognize the relationship patterns you find yourself repeating, but don’t know how to change them. We can uncover and change those patterns so you can enjoy genuine, rewarding relationships.
