Uncover the root causes of your pain, Unblock yourself
I help thoughtful people uncover root causes of their pain and get out of their own way.
My patients struggle as you do. Despite being hardworking, curious, and smart, life is hard.
I have experience working with people from childhood to late adulthood. I see how experiences and difficulties early in one’s childhood creates roadmaps for later difficulties without the right help.
When patients come into my office, they might identify with the “people pleasing” video on TikTok instead of living life with the freedom of knowing their own desires and goals. They describe longstanding internal difficulties since childhood. They feel pulled in every direction, yet they also describe not knowing who they really are and where they are going. The stress, indecision, worries, hopelessness and sadness they feel gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of parent, spouse they want to be. And their confidence at work or school is tanking.
Before they came to see me, they worried that talking with me would “open a can of worms.” They worried about depending on me too much. And they were pretty certain they had no time to commit to therapy. Yet their problems were eating them alive, making them less efficient, less present, and less satisfied.
Like my patients, you deserve to feel more peaceful.
