A desire to feel whole again.
Online Therapy in California and In-Person in Alameda
The path you’re on…
Knowing who you are can be difficult to determine in your teens and 20s. You have many choices to make, and you hope you’re making the right ones.
But often, in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, those earlier choices no longer seem to “fit.” The uncertainty of who you are and what you want can be overwhelming.
Everyone around you seems to have all this figured out.
Don’t believe it! They may very well be struggling to make it through the day, just like you.
Something isn’t “right.”
But inside, there is a desire to have time for yourself. You want to give up the guilt when you think you’ve neglected to do something or be there for someone.
The guilt grows louder and louder each day.
“I ‘should’ be like this,” or “I ‘should’ have this figured out by now.”
Feelings of depression, anxiety, panic, constant worry, and a racing mind that never settles keep you always on edge.
Instead of staying in the present moment, the life you hoped for feels out of reach. You are merely existing.
And then there is a life event…
Experiencing any one of life’s transitions can turn your world upside down.
From pregnancy and postpartum to moving away to college or even returning to school after a long time away. From getting a divorce to dealing with a loss… the list goes on.
Somehow, you’ve lost your ability to feel grounded and confident.
Listen to your body.
Our body is wise, and it’s important to listen to ourselves.
Often, these symptoms are indicators that something is “not right.”
These intense and painful feelings may have been there for a long time, but you can’t avoid them anymore.
The original reason for the discomfort (loss, change, trauma) cannot be erased, but we can begin to change your perspective and attachment to it.
Let me help you free yourself
from the ‘shoulds.’ Allow hope,
energy, and pride to return.
From a grounded place, it is easier to have the relationships
you desire and experiences that are meaningful.
