Conditions We Treat
It feels like a constant battle with your own to-do list. You know exactly what needs to be done, but a wall of overwhelm, a fear of not being good enough, or a feeling of "I just can't start" keeps you stuck.
This isn't about laziness or a lack of academic ability. You are fundamentally struggling to connect your immediate actions with your future academic goals. The behavior you see on the surface is just a sign of the complex emotional issues beneath it.
Therapy for academic procrastination helps you address its root causes, such as fear of failure, perfectionism, or burnout. We work to help you separate your self-worth from your performance and implement practical, sequential strategies to initiate and complete academic tasks effectively. With the right support, you can build habits that stick, reclaim your confidence, and finally feel proud of your progress.
It's the all-consuming pull of a craving that seems to override everything else—your thoughts, your plans, and your intentions. It's the shame that follows a choice you didn't want to make and the constant feeling of being trapped in a cycle you can't control. This often leads to the disruption of relationships and routines you once held dear.
You are fundamentally coping with a hijacked reward system.
Therapy for addiction helps you understand the "why" behind the behavior, because recovery isn't just about willpower—it's about connection. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to address the root causes of addiction, rebuild trust in yourself, and learn how to cope without numbing. By managing cravings and building a sustainable life rooted in resilience and healthy coping mechanisms, you can move from dependence to freedom.
A deep need for connection is at the core of human experience. When you have adult attachment difficulties, it can feel like a fundamental part of your blueprint for relationships is flawed. You may find yourself stuck in the same painful dynamics, wondering why you can't form the kind of healthy, safe connections you long for.
If You Struggle with Anxious Attachment
It may feel like you're on a constant emotional rollercoaster, where your sense of security depends on the availability and responsiveness of a partner. Your mind may be consumed with thoughts of the relationship, a fear of abandonment, or a constant need for reassurance. You may find yourself in a push-pull dynamic—yearning for closeness but simultaneously pushing it away out of fear. This can lead to a cycle of intense anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion.
If You Struggle with Avoidant Attachment
It may feel like you're carrying a deep, quiet loneliness, even when you're in a relationship. You may be highly self-sufficient and independent, but closeness and emotional intimacy feel uncomfortable or even suffocating. In an effort to protect yourself from getting hurt, you may have built a wall around your heart and feel a strong need to pull away from people when they get too close. This can lead to a feeling of numbness, an inability to be vulnerable, or a fundamental inability to trust others with your emotions.
Therapy for adult attachment issues offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore how your past relationship experiences are shaping your present. We help you recognize and understand your patterns of anxiety or avoidance and their impact on your current connections. By doing this work, you can begin to rewrite the script of your relationships, developing a more secure sense of self, learning to trust others, and building a foundation for healthy, fulfilling connections.
When your mind races faster than your breath, when every decision feels like a trap, and when peace seems like something only other people get to have.
It's the constant, low hum of worry, the churning in your stomach, or the sudden, overwhelming wave of panic that floods your body. It can feel like your thoughts are on a loop, your body is on high alert, and sleep is always just out of reach. Fundamentally, this is what it feels like to have a nervous system that is stuck in the "ON" position.
Anxiety isn't just a feeling; it's a message from your nervous system. Therapy isn't about eliminating anxiety, but about learning to understand its voice and respond to it with confidence. We offer a safe space to explore the root causes of your worries and develop concrete strategies to manage overwhelming thoughts and physical sensations. Through therapeutic support, we help you reframe thought patterns, build resilience to stress, and find a sense of inner safety, helping you move from a place of constant overwhelm to one of calm and control.
It may feel like you're carrying a wound from a past you can't fully remember or understand. You may have a constant, quiet feeling that something is wrong with you, as if you're fundamentally flawed, but you don't know why.
This can manifest as a deep-seated inability to trust others, leaving you on high alert in relationships and constantly bracing for disappointment or rejection. You might also struggle with a push-pull dynamic—yearning for connection while simultaneously building a wall to keep people out. This can lead to overwhelming emotions that feel hard to manage, or a sense of being disconnected from your own feelings and body.
Ultimately, these are not signs of weakness; they are the intelligent ways your mind and body learned to survive in an unsafe world.
Therapy for childhood trauma offers a safe and compassionate space to process the emotional wounds of the past. We help you understand how these experiences may be impacting your present-day thoughts, emotions, and relationships. By engaging in this work, you can begin to heal from the pain, develop a greater sense of self-compassion, and build a new foundation of safety and trust for the future.
It feels like you're carrying an invisible weight, a constant hum of pain that never truly goes away. You may find that your body is a battleground you can't escape, and exhaustion has become a familiar companion. This struggle is often unseen by others, leading to a deep sense of frustration and isolation.
This can manifest as a feeling of being disconnected from your own body, a loss of your old self, or a grief for the life you once had. The constant management of pain can make it difficult to be present in your relationships or to engage in the activities you once loved. Ultimately, this isn't a sign of personal weakness. It's a signal that your body and mind are locked in a struggle that requires new tools to work with.

Through gentle movement and mindful stretching, we help you increase body awareness, build strength, and gently improve your functional mobility. This practice helps you feel more at home and in control of your own body.
This often manifests as a mix of intense anxiety and deep-seated guilt. You may feel a constant need to fix, help, or save others, even when they haven't asked you to. This can lead to a quiet resentment that you are always giving and never receiving. You might have difficulty distinguishing your own needs, feelings, and identity from the other person's, and your biggest fear may be that they will leave you if you stop this behavior. Ultimately, this isn’t a sign of love or loyalty; it’s a powerful, unconscious pattern driven by a need for external validation and a fear of being alone.
Therapy for codependency offers a safe, non-judgmental space to rediscover your authentic self. We help you understand the root causes of your people-pleasing and learn to find your voice and needs. By doing this work, you can begin to set healthy boundaries, build a sense of self-worth from within, and develop relationships that are balanced, reciprocal, and emotionally healthy.
It can feel like you're managing a team that's constantly running on 1% battery. Your team members may be technically "on," but they have no time or space to recharge. You might notice your team as a whole seems to operate more as a resource than a group of people, with their collective energy and attention being drained by a never-ending stream of emails, meetings, and deadlines.
This can manifest as a lack of focus, reduced innovation, and a growing sense of being on a corporate hamster wheel. You may find that your team's collective morale is low, leading to tension and a growing sense of disconnection from their work and each other. Ultimately, these aren't signs of a failing team. They are signals that your professional system is overloaded, and your team needs new tools to recharge and sustain themselves.

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it is a persistent, heavy feeling that can make the world seem gray and joyless. It can feel like a fundamental loss of energy, where even the smallest tasks are a struggle, and things you once found exciting now feel flat and uninteresting. You may find yourself struggling with negative self-talk, feeling disconnected from others, or noticing changes in your sleep and appetite.
You are fundamentally coping with a loss of emotional and physical vitality.
Therapy for depression offers a space to process its root causes and to begin the journey of healing. We help you to challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build a greater sense of resilience. By engaging in this work, you can begin to find a sense of renewed purpose, rediscover joy in your life, and move from a place of hopelessness to one of healing and hope.
It feels like you're constantly pouring from a cup that never gets refilled. You may find yourself with a growing list of tasks for everyone else, while your own needs get pushed further and further down the list. A nagging feeling of guilt may appear whenever you consider taking time for yourself, as if rest is a luxury you haven't earned.
This can manifest as a deep sense of exhaustion, both physically and mentally, and a quiet resentment that you are always giving and rarely receiving. You may struggle with the belief that prioritizing your own well-being is selfish, and this can lead to a feeling of being completely drained. Ultimately, you are not being selfish; you are grappling with a core challenge: the belief that your needs are less important than everyone else's.
Therapy for prioritizing self-care offers a supportive space to understand the barriers that are preventing you from taking care of yourself. We help you to challenge the belief that your needs are selfish and to develop a compassionate and mindful relationship with yourself. Through this work, you can begin to set healthy boundaries, replenish your energy, and build a more sustainable life rooted in resilience and self-worth.
When connection feels more like a constant negotiation, and the space between you and the people you care about feels like a wall you can't break through, this is what interpersonal communication struggles feel like. It can manifest as a deep sense of loneliness, even when you're in a crowded room, or the frustration of having the same conversation over and over with no resolution.
You may find yourself walking on eggshells to avoid conflict or feeling misunderstood even when you're trying your hardest to be heard. This can lead to a cycle of resentment, emotional distance, and a growing fear that genuine connection is just out of reach. Ultimately, you're not failing at relationships; you are coping with a fundamental disconnect between your desire for connection and your ability to achieve it.
Therapy offers a supportive space to learn a new language for connection. We help you identify the unspoken patterns and fears that lead to misunderstandings. You will develop practical skills for active listening, expressing your needs clearly, and setting healthy boundaries. By doing this work, you can move from a place of conflict and distance to one of mutual understanding and rebuilt trust.
You might feel like you have the tools, but a complex case has left you feeling stuck or unsure of the next step. You may feel anxious about adhering to the protocol or worry that you're not doing the work correctly. It's the pressure of wanting to provide the most effective treatment for your clients, coupled with the frustrating feeling that you lack the guidance you need to move forward.
EMDR consultation offers a structured, supportive space to deepen your practice and transform theoretical knowledge into confident application. We can help you navigate complex case conceptualizations, understand protocol nuances, and build a personalized toolkit for effective resource development. By doing this work, you can move from feeling stuck to feeling empowered, ensuring you provide ethical, purposeful, and transformative care to your clients.
It can feel like being on an emotional rollercoaster, where your feelings go from 0 to 100 in an instant. You might feel a sudden rush of emotion and act impulsively, or you might completely shut down, unable to express yourself. This can often lead to conflict with the people you care about, as you may find yourself over-relying on them to help you soothe yourself.
Fundamentally, you have a hard time returning to a calm baseline state after your emotions have come on strong.
Therapy offers a compassionate space to build the skills you need to navigate emotional storms. We work to help you develop a more flexible nervous system and a reliable "brake" or "dimmer switch" for your feelings. By understanding your emotional triggers and practicing new ways to respond, you can move from just coping with overwhelming emotions to navigating them with clarity, intention, and confidence.
Generational trauma feels like carrying an emotional weight that isn't entirely your own. You may find yourself with a deep-seated sense of anxiety, mistrust, or shame that doesn't seem to have a clear source. This can manifest as difficult attachment patterns or a feeling of disconnection in your relationships, as if you are living out a story that belongs to someone else.
You are fundamentally carrying emotional pain and difficult patterns that have been passed down through your family's behaviors, beliefs, and even biology.
Therapy for generational trauma helps you recognize these inherited patterns and process unacknowledged family history. We provide a supportive space to help you understand how past events may be impacting your present. By doing this work, you can begin to break the cycle, build emotional freedom for yourself, and create a legacy of healing for future generations.
It may feel like the world keeps moving while yours has come to a stop. You might find that memories of what you've lost bring both warmth and an unexpected wave of pain, leaving you feeling like you're grieving in a language no one else speaks.
This can manifest as a deep sense of numbness, profound sadness, or even guilt. It may make it difficult to function in your daily life or feel connected to others, leaving you with a sense of profound isolation.
Grief isn’t something to “get over” Your love, loss, and longing are tangled together, asking to be felt, honored, and gently understood. Therapy can help you learn what is a normal part of the grief experience, how to connect to others in time, how to get the support you need. Processing with your threapist can help you to re organize your life and connection with your loved one after loss as well as develop coping tools.
It's a longing you can't name, a feeling that your story is incomplete, and a spirit that aches for something older, deeper, and true. This can manifest as a deep sense of disconnect from yourself or your culture, leaving you with identity confusion or a profound longing for your cultural roots.
Fundamentally, this is what it feels like when the sacred ties to your history and community have been strained or severed.
Therapy can help the healing to begin where roots are remembered, where language, land, and lineage are reclaimed, and where the echoes of systemic and historical trauma are met with strength, ceremony, and belonging. You may be guided to find cultural connections in your community, if you would find that helpful.
Home feels like a memory, and the present feels like a puzzle you're constantly trying to solve. You might feel like you're constantly translating your identity to fit in, and a true sense of belonging feels just out of reach. This can manifest as culture shock, profound loneliness, and identity confusion.
On top of this, you may also be navigating the practical and systemic struggles of language barriers, finding housing, or facing discrimination while learning to navigate an entirely new system.
Immigration and resettlement is about mroe than transitions. It Signals that your journey carries resilience, grief, and hope. Your therapist can help you work through re-settlement and learn to embrace the quiet strength or building life between worlds. We are here to help you move through this demanding process, providing the mental health support you need to build your new, stable life.
It's the feeling of walking into the therapy room every day and feeling like you're playing the part of a therapist. It's the silent anxiety that someone will see past the certificate on the wall and realize you're not qualified enough to be there.
A pervasive part of this experience is the belief that every other therapist is doing a better job. You might find yourself scrolling through professional social media or reading articles, only to see the highlight reel of a colleague’s success—the book they published, the speaking gig they landed, the client they "perfectly" helped. In these moments, you're not comparing your full, messy reality to their full reality; you're comparing your behind-the-scenes struggles to their front-facing performance. This creates the myth of the master therapist—the all-knowing, mistake-free expert you believe you can never become.
Ultimately, you may find yourself struggling to internalize your own successes, dismissing them as luck.
Clinical supervision offers a dedicated space to transform professional self-doubt into authentic confidence. I work with my supervisees to help them move beyond theoretical jargon to find their unique clinical voice, aligning it with the evidence-based elements of successful integrative therapy. By doing this work, you can gain confidence in your approach and develop a practice that is both effective and genuinely your own.
When the night stretches longer than your thoughts can bear, and sleep feels like a door that won’t open no matter how softly you knock, this is what insomnia feels like. Your days may be a blur of fatigue, making it hard to focus, concentrate, or regulate your appetite. The feeling of exhaustion has become a constant companion, yet your body struggles to relax into rest.
Ultimately, you are coping with a disconnect between your desire for sleep and your body’s inability to relax into it.
Therapy offers a space to understand that sleep struggles aren't about failure—they're about safety and a nervous system that hasn't found its rhythm. We work to help you identify the cognitive and behavioral barriers preventing restorative rest and provide the tools to reclaim healthy sleep patterns. Healing begins when you stop blaming yourself for being tired and start honoring the part of you that is trying to survive, so you can finally get the rest you deserve.
You might feel as if your mind has been hijacked, forcing distressing thoughts into your awareness at the worst possible times. These thoughts feel out of your control and can leave you with a deep sense of shame and guilt. It's the exhausting battle of trying to fight your own mind while keeping a brave face for the world.
Therapy for intrusive thoughts offers a supportive space to learn that these thoughts are not a reflection of your character—they're a mental health symptom. We help you develop a new relationship with your thoughts, one based on mindfulness and acceptance rather than fear and suppression. Through this work, you can begin to quiet the inner anxiety and build a greater sense of peace and control in your own mind.
It may feel like you’re a door with no lock. You may find yourself always available, always accommodating, and always saying "yes," even when your mind and body are screaming "no." The boundaries between your needs and others’ needs feel blurred, leaving you with little to no space or time for yourself.
This can lead to deep-seated resentment and a growing sense of exhaustion as you constantly pour from an empty cup. You may fear being seen as selfish or difficult, so you compromise your own energy and well-being. Ultimately, this is not a sign of being a selfless person; it's a powerful habit rooted in the fear of conflict or rejection. It's the silent battle between what you need and what you believe you must give.
Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the root causes of your difficulty setting boundaries and to build the skills you need to protect your energy and time. We help you find your voice, practice saying "no" without guilt, and understand that your needs are just as important as everyone else's. By doing this work, you can create a greater sense of personal freedom and build healthier, more balanced relationships.
It feels like you're trying to find stability on shifting ground. You may be grappling with the uncertainty of the future, a profound sense of grief for what was, or a complete loss of direction. This can bring on a mix of anxiety, depression, or overwhelm as you navigate the unknown.
Ultimately, this is a call to rewrite your internal script—the beliefs you hold about yourself and your future.
Life transitions aren’t breakdowns—they’re invitations. To reimagine, to rebuild, to reclaim. Whether it’s a new job, a loss, a move, or a shift in identity, this isn’t the end of your story. It’s the turning of a page. Therapy can help you make sense of this re-chaptering of your story and support you along the journey. We are here to support you in moving from instability to a confident new chapter.
When your body flinches at memories your mind tries to forget, and the world feels like a place you constantly have to brace for. It can feel like you are in a persistent state of alertness and hypervigilance, always on guard for a threat that may or may not be there. This often leads to a deep need to avoid certain people or places, emotional numbing, and a constant negative mood.
Fundamentally, this is what it feels like when your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
You are not broken, you are surviving. PTSD is evidence. Of what you’ve endured, of how fiercely your system fights to protect you. Healing isn’t linear, and safety isn’t always obvious. But your story is still yours to reclaim, one breath at a time. You are fundamentally coping with a fragmented sense of safety. Our goal is to help you process the past trauma and retrain your nervous system so you can reclaim your present life.
When your heart feels like it’s sprinting toward danger, when your breath forgets how to stay, and when the world suddenly narrows into a tunnel of fear. This is what panic feels like. You may experience intense physical symptoms such as a racing heart, chest pain, dizziness, and trembling. At the same time, you may feel a sense of impending doom, the fear you are having a heart attack, or the terror that you are "going crazy."
This can lead to paralyzing, catastrophic thoughts and a chronic worry that another panic attack is coming, causing you to limit your life experiences. Ultimately, you are coping with a powerful misfire of your internal threat detection system—a false alarm. It’s not weakness. It’s panic.
Therapy offers a space to learn that panic isn't your enemy—it’s your nervous system trying to protect you. We work to help you process the underlying anxiety and retrain your body to recognize and de-escalate these intense, terrifying alarms. By doing this work, you can move from a place of fighting the feeling to one of listening to what it's trying to say, finding a greater sense of calm and control.
When the silence after bedtime feels heavier than it should, or you’re constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough—pause. You are navigating a constant push-pull between being a supportive caregiver and an authoritative guide, which can lead to exhaustion, guilt, and self-doubt.
You may be struggling to manage your own emotions or your child’s behavioral challenges while also navigating work-life balance or conflict with your partner. Ultimately, this is what it feels like when you're overwhelmed by the pressures of modern parenting.
You're not failing, you're feeling.
Parenting challenges aren’t proof of inadequacy—they’re reminders. That love is messy, that growth is nonlinear, and that showing up—imperfectly, consistently—is the bravest thing you do. You don’t need to be flawless. You just need to be there. Therapy for parenting challenges offers a supportive space to navigate the immense and often unexpected demands of raising children. We can help you process the complex emotional and practical stressors and guide you to parent in a way that aligns with research on child development and human attachment. By doing this work, you may foster stronger family connections, set healthy boundaries, and find a renewed sense of purpose and joy in your parenting journey.
It may feel like you're a human "yes" button, always available and always accommodating. You may find yourself agreeing to things you don't want to do, and you feel a sense of dread or resentment every time you do it. The need to maintain peace and make others happy becomes an internal compass, guiding your choices while your own needs get left behind.
This can manifest as a deep sense of exhaustion, as if you're constantly wearing a mask or performing a role. You might find yourself with blurry or non-existent boundaries, feeling like a chameleon who changes their colors to fit in. Ultimately, this is not a sign of being a good person; it is a powerful habit driven by a deep-seated fear of rejection, conflict, or being seen as difficult.
Therapy for people pleasing offers a safe space to uncover the root causes of your behaviors and to build a healthier foundation for your relationships. We help you learn to set and maintain boundaries, find your authentic voice, and develop a strong sense of self-worth that is not dependent on external approval. By doing this work, you can finally feel seen, heard, and valued for who you truly are.
When your worth feels tied to flawless execution, and rest feels like a reward you haven’t earned, you're experiencing the pressures of perfectionism. It can manifest as an endless cycle of all-or-nothing thinking and relentless self-criticism.
You may find yourself overworking to an extreme or procrastinating out of a deep-seated fear of not being good enough, which can lead to anxiety and a fear of vulnerability. You’re not behind, you’re just human.
Perfectionism isn’t ambition—it’s armor. Built to protect, but heavy to carry. You don’t need to be exceptional to be enough. You don’t need to be polished to be powerful. You’re allowed to show up as you are, not just as you wish you were. Therapy for perfectionism isn't about lowering your standards; it's about unlearning the exhausting belief that you must be flawless to be worthy. We provide a space to explore the root causes of your rigid standards and challenge the all-or-nothing thought patterns that fuel your anxiety. You'll work on separating your self-worth from your performance, developing greater self-compassion, and finding a healthier path to excellence. By doing this work, you can move from a place of constant pressure to one of greater freedom and fulfillment.
It may feel like a normal fear button is stuck in the "on" position, causing your body to sound a powerful alarm even when you know there's no real danger. Your mind might understand that the fear is illogical, but your body reacts as if your life is in immediate peril.
This can manifest as an intense feeling of dread, a racing heart, chest tightness, or shortness of breath. You may feel a profound sense of losing control, leading you to avoid the specific object or situation at all costs. This avoidance can cause your world to shrink, leaving you feeling isolated, ashamed, or embarrassed by a reaction you can't seem to control. Ultimately, this is not a weakness; you are coping with a powerful, miswired fear response that can be understood and managed.
Therapy for phobias provides a safe and structured approach to overcoming your fears. We help you understand the underlying thought patterns and physical sensations that trigger your anxiety. Through gradual and supported exposure, you can learn to manage your fear and build confidence in your ability to face your triggers. By engaging in this work, you can begin to reclaim your freedom and live your life without limits.
When your body feels unfamiliar, your emotions swing without warning, and the quiet moments feel louder than they should. This is what it feels like to navigate postpartum transitions. It can feel like a constant state of flux, from the physical recovery and hormonal shifts to the exhaustion of sleep deprivation.
You may be navigating a shifting identity, or even relationship strain, as you try to find your footing in this new role. Sometimes, a traumatic birth experience can add another layer to this process, impacting your mental health and ability to adapt.
Therapy for postpartum transition offers a supportive and nonjudgmental space to process the immense emotional and identity shifts of new parenthood. We can help you navigate the unexpected challenges, challenge unrealistic expectations, and learn to quiet the guilt. By engaging in this work, you can begin to find a new sense of self, build a foundation of self-compassion, and feel more connected to yourself, your baby, and your partner.
It's the paradox of knowing what you need to do, but feeling completely unable to start. You may be stuck in an emotional loop, moving between the anxiety of an impending deadline and the temporary relief of distraction (like scrolling or watching TV). This can manifest as difficulty with time management or prioritization, impulsivity, or an inability to maintain focus.
Fundamentally, you are struggling with your internal motivation and emotional tolerance, which can often make it feel like your self-worth is tied to your achievement.
Therapy for procrastination helps you get to the root of the issue so you can stop a to-do list from feeling like a monument to everything you haven't done. We work to help you separate your self-worth from your productivity and replace avoidance with effective action strategies. Through this work, you can begin to rewrite the story and move from a place of guilt to one of confidence.
It feels like you've been on a professional treadmill, running hard but not moving forward. The work that used to be challenging and exciting has become routine and predictable. You may find yourself with a growing sense of boredom, a lack of purpose, or the constant anxiety that you're falling behind your peers.
This can manifest as a deep sense of frustration, knowing you're capable of more but feeling stuck in the same place. You might look for the next goal, only to find the path ahead looks just as flat as the one behind you. Ultimately, this is not a sign of your professional failure; it's a signal that your skills are ready for a new challenge. It's a call for change.
Workshops offer a flexible and effective way to refresh your clinical skills and reignite your passion for the work. Our courses are designed to help you move beyond the daily routine by providing structured, on-demand training in new therapeutic approaches and cutting-edge research. By investing in your own professional growth, you can expand your toolkit, gain a renewed sense of clinical curiosity, and feel confident that you're providing the most informed and purposeful care.
When connection feels more like conflict, when silence speaks louder than words, and you’re wondering how love turned into something so heavy—this is what relationship struggles feel like. It can manifest as emotional distance, a recurring cycle of miscommunication, or deep-seated resentment.
You may be experiencing a breakdown of intimacy or trust, and a lack of clear boundaries. Ultimately, you're struggling to maintain a healthy balance between your individual needs and your shared connection.
Therapy offers a space to learn that relationship struggles aren't signs of failure—they're signals. These signals show that needs aren't being met, and that inherited patterns are asking to be seen. We help you identify these toxic patterns and build the skills to communicate effectively, rebuild trust, and foster mutual understanding so that healing is possible when both people feel safe enough to show up and be heard.
It may feel like you've been following a map your whole life, only to find the ground beneath you is completely new. You may be grappling with fundamental questions about your purpose, and your old beliefs and identity no longer seem to fit.
This can manifest as a deep sense of longing, a profound feeling of connection to all living things, or a rush of creative energy that feels difficult to manage. It's often accompanied by a sense of isolation because you may feel like you’re experiencing a reality that no one around you understands. Ultimately, you are not losing your mind, you are fundamentally expanding your perception of it.
Therapy for spiritual experiences and awakening offers a supportive, non-judgmental space to process the emotional and psychological impact of your journey. We can help you integrate these profound experiences into your daily life so that you feel more grounded and less isolated. Through this work, you can learn to navigate your changing identity and build a new foundation for a life that is in alignment with your renewed sense of purpose.
When your mind feels like it’s racing without a finish line, when your chest tightens at the thought of one more thing, and when rest feels like a luxury you can’t afford. This is what it feels like to be overwhelmed by stress.
It can manifest as constant irritability and fatigue, difficulty with concentration, or physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or digestive issues. You may feel stuck in a state of constant fight or flight, which can lead to burnout or chronic avoidance. Ultimately, you are struggling because your coping demands exceed your resources.
Therapy offers a space to learn that stress isn’t weakness—it’s a signal that your body is carrying too much. We help you identify your stress triggers, recalibrate your nervous system, and build sustainable strategies for emotional regulation and resilience. By doing this work, you can begin to honor your body's needs, stop apologizing for needing space, and build a life of greater peace and balance.
It can feel like you've been given a thousand-piece toolkit from all of your training, but without a set of instructions. You might feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm, as you try to make sense of all the different theories and techniques you’ve learned. It's the fear of not knowing what to do next with a client, leaving you feeling less like a guide and more like a guesser.
This can manifest as a deep sense of internal conflict, as you try to decide what to hold onto and what to let go of. You may worry that you're being "unprincipled" or "unfocused" by not committing to a single approach. The challenge is in moving from a student who follows a manual to an artist who creates their own unique practice.
Ultimately, you are grappling with the beautiful but complex process of synthesizing your knowledge, values, and experiences into a coherent, authentic, and truly your own way of helping others.
Clinical supervision provides a structured space to transform theoretical knowledge into a clear, confident, and integrated clinical framework. I can help you move from feeling overwhelmed by different approaches to building a unique model that aligns with your personal strengths and values. By doing this work, you can gain confidence in your professional identity and provide consistent, purposeful care to your clients.
It can feel like the echoes of other people's pain are following you home. You may experience a deep, bone-deep exhaustion that sleep can't seem to touch, a persistent feeling of being emotionally drained, and a growing sense of numbness to stories that would have once affected you deeply.
This can manifest as a feeling of professional cynicism, a lack of hope for your clients, or a frustrating sense of losing your own empathy. You might notice yourself becoming more irritable, withdrawing from colleagues, or struggling to leave work at the office. Ultimately, this isn’t a sign of being a bad therapist or a failure on your part. It is a natural and intelligent response to the immense emotional demands of this profession—a signal that your nervous system is in need of care and compassion.
Clinical supervision provides a safe and essential space to process the emotional toll of your work. We can help you identify the signs of compassion fatigue and burnout before they become overwhelming and establish the boundaries you need to protect your emotional well-being. By doing this work, you can begin to process difficult sessions, reclaim your passion for the work, and ensure your practice is sustainable for years to come.
You feel like you're searching for your clinical "voice," unsure of your therapeutic style or what makes you unique. You might feel a pressure to have all the answers, silently comparing yourself to mentors and supervisors. It's the anxiety of navigating a new professional landscape, a feeling of being caught between what you've learned in a textbook and the reality of a session.
This can manifest as a feeling of professional ambiguity or uncertainty, as if you’re a generalist without a specialization. You might find yourself comparing your journey to the seemingly straightforward paths of more established clinicians. It can be a challenge to integrate your personal identity and values with your new professional role, leaving you feeling like you have to choose between who you are and what you do. Ultimately, you are not lost; you are fundamentally in the complex and creative process of uncovering your unique professional self.
Clinical supervision offers a space to transform professional uncertainty into a clear, authentic identity. I can help you move towards confidently owning your unique style. By exploring your clinical work and theoretical interests, you can develop a clear direction and build a practice that is both effective and genuinely your own.
