Stress! It comes in so many forms: anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, life changes that feel overwhelming, unwelcomed surprises and overwhelm, worrying about being worried, more depressed thinking you can’t break free. It can be exhausting. It’s hard to feel stuck and it’s harder still when you don’t know how to get unstuck or don’t have the kind of support that helps you feel better. Of course you don’t want to stay stuck in that, right? And of course you want to feel better, and you can. You can relieve that stress, feel more motivated, hopeful, confident, capable, and resilient. There’s lots of methods, strategies, and tools that can help you feel better, that are doable, that empower your outlook and your choices. Those ways could include methods such as CBT, Problem Solving, Acceptance Theory, Heart Math, The Work, Mindfulness, Spirituality and connecting you to resources to enhance our work together. Together, we create a safe space so you can get to know me, and I get to hear what you need. We identify what’s not working for you and get to the root cause of it to find what can and will work for you. I’m most interested in you finding a clear pathway to sustainable change that feels right for you, if you’re interested in walking that path. I will support you to move from stuck to “I got this”, especially when it gets hard. It’s my honor and pleasure, as a therapist and life coach, to support you along the way.
