Does this sound like you?

You want something to be different, but you do not know where to start or if it is even possible. The days pass, but it is hard to feel connected. You want to connect, but feel yourself becoming more distant and do not know why it seems so hard. You question if this is how you will always feel, if this is just life. After spending time with friends and family, maybe you wonder who truly cares and who knows you. Sometimes you question if you truly know yourself.

• Maybe you have started to focus on others, putting their needs before your own. It helped for a little. But now you feel lost and unable to identify what you need or want
• Maybe you think of everything that could go wrong, the what ifs. Worrying all day and then feeling unable to turn your thoughts off at night, no matter how hard you try.
• Maybe you have felt this way for a long time or maybe this feeling is completely new to you. It can be hard to make sense of our thoughts and feelings sometimes. They can be complex, intense, and overwhelming.
• Maybe there could even be things you have experienced in your past, that you have tried desperately to avoid or forget, but you know they are still there. Overpowering thoughts or feelings can come out of nowhere, bringing you right back.
• Life does not have be like this. Change is possible and there is help to live a more connected, fulfilling life.

Therapy Can Help

If you are reading this page, some part of you wants something to be different and thinks that might be possible. There might still be uncertainty around if you are ready or if therapy can really help.

I believe that people can grow, change, and live the life they desire. Feelings can be understood and less overwhelming. The past can return to part of your story, rather than it feeling like it is the story. Internal thought patterns, or the voice in our heads, can shift to be more compassionate. Life and relationships with others can become more meaningful. Purpose can be discovered and trust reestablished.

It is not easy to come and talk about things that are not going well. It can take time, energy and effort for things to shift, but as I mentioned, change is possible.
