Does this sound familiar?

You know you’re a pretty decent person, all things considered!

You care about others, you want to do positive things in the world, and you understand that you’re here for a reason.

You trust the universe and you show up for the assignment every single day, ready to serve and learn and grow.

And yet, sometimes… you just feel like you’re out of sync. Like you don’t have enough energy to give to the things that really light you up. You commit to plans and then find yourself with zero desire to follow through. You’re tired of being so zapped and you’re looking for help to figure some of this stuff out.

Maybe you’re an empath and you feel like you’re full of other people’s stuff. You have an interaction in the grocery store and you walk out feeling super depressed because you could just tell that they weren’t doing well. You find yourself in the shower with your thoughts racing and your heart pounding, urgently scheming about how your friend could get out of their unhealthy relationship while causing the least amount of harm. You have a family member going through a horrible time and you can’t stop thinking about it, even though every time you think about it you feel sick to your stomach and totally helpless. You check the news and you could just about lay down and die.

You feel this wild pull in your chest to DO SOMETHING when other people are in pain, and it’s hard for you to let it go even when you know it’s not yours to carry.

Maybe you feel weighed down by your own unhelpful patterns. You KNOW you feel terrible when you spend too much time on your phone, but when you finally close the app after hours and hours, you immediately open it again and continue scrolling. You KNOW you function so much better when you exercise in the morning, but you’ve been hitting snooze every day for weeks. You KNOW better than to take the bait when your parent or partner starts doing that thing, but you jump right in and do the same old dance because even though you know better, you can’t seem to DO better. It’s like you’re not even in charge.

You feel ashamed and frustrated that you can’t just figure it out already, and alone in your struggle because it really does feel like you’re doing it to yourself.

You have a feeling life doesn’t have to be this hard, if you could just figure out how to make some shifts.

I get it. I truly get the pain you feel. And I can help you through it to the other side.

As a therapist, I am warm, authentic, forever looking for the humor or the lesson (they usually go hand in hand!) and always ready to have your back.

You deserve to feel like yourself, at home and sovereign in your body. You deserve to feel like you have agency in your life. You deserve to feel like your beautiful heart and bountiful life energy are not being wasted or stolen.

You deserve freedom.
