You feel overwhelmed, but don’t know where to start with even describing how you are feeling. You feel like you are always on the verge of panic, and just want to understand why you are feeling this way. It is overwhelming to even reach out for help because you cannot explain how you are feeling, so how would you be able to describe it to a therapist? Change is possible. You can feel more confident and happy as we work together to identify the source of your anxious thoughts and find solutions.

Are you feeling stuck in repetitive patterns and don’t know which way to turn? You may notice the same challenges repeating in your life and can’t seem to find a different path. Important relationships feel really hard right now. You long for change and happiness but aren’t sure how to get there. Together, we’ll explore your patterns, clarify your values, and discover new pathways forward. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, helping you regain a sense of purpose and ease.

Being a teen can be stressful. Navigating friendships…balancing all of the school work and after school activities... feeling pressure at school and home…and feeling like no one understands. Feeling moody and sometimes angry. Stressed out… sad…tired…overwhelmed…worried…confused about relationships.

Being a parent of a teen can be difficult too. Not recognizing your child some days and wanting to help, but feeling unsure how to support. You’ve noticed them withdrawing more, being more on-edge, or have noticed a change in sleeping/eating habits. l can help your teen sort though their emotions, relationships, school concerns, life pressures; and work together with you (parent), so you can feel more at peace with a plan for your teen’s struggles.

Do you find yourself feeling like you just can’t measure up? That everyone around you seems to have it together, and your negative thoughts are spinning around in your head?

Perfectionism is the constant drive to meet impossibly high standards, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. While aiming for excellence can be positive, perfectionism often comes with feelings of inadequacy, fear of failure, people-pleasing and self-criticism, making it difficult to feel satisfied or at peace.

Signs of perfectionism may include setting unrealistic goals, excessive fear of making mistakes, procrastination or avoidance of tasks, difficulty accepting feedback, or harsh self-criticism.

With therapy, you can learn to set realistic expectations, embrace your imperfections, and lead a more fulfilling, less stressful life.
