Being an adult can sometimes feel like a movie script gone wrong, that likely originated during our childhood and written by adults who did not ask for our opinion. It can certainly feel similar when our relationships are not in a good space, whether it is with your children, significant other, or relatives. Life and our relationships can have challenges. Whoever says otherwise lives in a cartoon series or scripted television show, where the peaceful solution miraculously appears in a 30-minute timespan, including commercials.
​
Our anxieties, sadness, frustrations, and relationship problems create a sense of emotional insecurity that often leads us to believe it is not safe not only to express those emotions, but that we cannot trust others to understand its effects on our well-being. If your life seems to have composed an ongoing script that causes you stress, anger, disillusionment, excessive worrying or overall fear, you are not alone. It can certainly feel like you are alone, but I am here to remind you that you are not.
​
ARE YOU READY TO FIND SOLUTIONS?
]To seek help is a step that takes bravery. Bravery is motivated by that voice inside us that knows it deserves to be heard. Somewhere along the line, someone or many, embedded in us the belief that our voice was not good enough to be heard. That, what we had to say, did not make the grade. Did not fit into their script.
​
Therapy can help to recreate your script to tell the truth of who you are and to help you live your best life. Therapy can guide this profound process in an environment of safety, compassion, and the discovery of lifelong tools to support your voice’s journey.I believe that patterns in our lives take years to form, and therefore require a nurturing and compassionate approach towards change. In our therapeutic relationship, we will work together to discover the goals and desires to create the life and self-value you and your relationships long for. A safe reliable space for you to reconnect with the truth of who you are and purposely understand and express your deepest needs. Whether you are seeking therapy services for yourself, your child(ren), partnership, or family, the space will accommodate each participant and provide a gentle yet strength-based environment where everyone’s voice will flourish and feel validated.
