You look successful on the outside,but on the inside you feel stuck and unhappy.

YOU ARE A HARD WORKER AND DEEP THINKER

You love new ideas, to be in flow, and to think critically and creatively.  You’ve achieved a lot in your life and look like you have it “all together.” But lately life has felt out of control.  Your mind moves too quickly, you can’t stay on top of things, and you keep cleaning up disaster after disaster. 
 

YOU HAVE TROUBLE MAKING DECISIONS

Analysis paralysis is real - you think through every detail over and over but can’t come to a decision.  You have trouble remembering things, staying focused, and filtering information.  It feels impossible to trust yourself to make the right call. Living this way is excruciating. 

YOU CAN GET OVERWHELMED BY THE SMALL THINGS

But at the moment, they don’t feel so small.  You tend to be perfectionistic, wanting to do things a specific way or to a certain standard, but you always feel like you’re missing the mark.  You see other people - co-workers, neighbors, friends - floating through life effortlessly, and you think, “What is wrong with me?  Why can’t I get it together?”  But no matter how hard you try, it feels like you’re just spinning your wheels, your tires stuck in the mud.

THAT’S WHEN THINGS GET REALLY BAD

You’re mad at yourself, mad at the world, and feel like you have to hold it all inside.  The emotions can get so intense that you…

  • Feel like your heart is racing and that you can’t breathe

  • Have muscle tension, back pain, or headaches

  • Can’t sleep or clear your mind

  • Lose control over how you express your emotions

  • Feel nothing, just emptiness and loneliness

YOU ARE SO TIRED

And not the kind of tiredness that can be fixed with a nap or a week-long vacation to the beach.  This is going to take some time. 


YOU CAN’T KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS

YOU’RE READY FOR CHANGE

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. SCHEDULE A FREE CONSULTATION

We will talk on the phone for 20 minutes..  You can give me a snapshot of what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to achieve.  You can ask questions about who I am and how I work in order to decide if you’d like to schedule your first appointment.

2. GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

I’m a firm believer that a trusting relationship is an essential part of therapy that creates lasting change.  We can take our time to get to know each other and you can share your story at your own pace.

 

3. DIG IN

I’m here to help you learn how your mind works and why you’re stuck and unhappy.  I'll ask the kinds of questions that will lead us to new insights and breakthroughs.  We can work together to make the changes that you want to see in your life.
