Individual Therapy
Are you wondering why you do the things you do? Why you end up in the same types of relationships over and over again? Have you noticed that certain things make you react more than they should? Do you feel like your life is not as satisfying as it could be? Are you feeling sad most of the time, without really knowing why?
Who we are is defined by a number of things, some of which are unconscious. They stem out of our childhood, early interactions with caregivers or traumatic events that we have repressed or forgotten. The problem when we repress those things, is that they don't go away. They tend to get bigger, until they get the best of us, through depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, broken relationships.
Facing the shadows inside of us can feel scary, but often times it is the key that will unlock your true self and allow you to become who you were meant to be. Therapy is sometimes the first and only place where people begin to mourn and grieve the losses of their lives without feeling pressured to "get over it". Being able to do that work in a supportive environment can be extremely liberating and give you a sense of groundedness in your life. You become the driver of your life and things from the past loose their power over you.
It would be an honor for me to walk with you on that journey of healing and self-discovery.
