ASKING FOR HELP…

Too numb to feel

“If I just push through, things will eventually get better,” you tell yourself.

But you’ve been saying this to yourself, over and over, and now it’s been too long.

Days, weeks, months – maybe even years!

Being Perfect

You’ve always had it together. Or so it seems on the outside. After all, you chose the “right” school, chose the “right” profession, the “right” career path.

Now you’re with a partner, maybe married, having to make decisions about having kids (or not) or having kids (and when) or having kids (and having fertility issues). Being pregnant.

Deciding to go back to work or stay home. So many decisions.

Perfection has always limited you; that ugly head has shown itself again. The more responsibilities you have, the more insecure you feel. You’re disappointed and disillusioned.

You’ve lost your way.

You thought by this time in your life, you’d feel more settled, more secure, happy and fulfilled. What happened??

Something is missing. It’s confusing and frustrating. But asking for help feels even worse.

Your friends and family offer advice, but, ultimately, nothing has changed.

Let me help you, even though you want to be able to fix yourself.

I hold hope even though you may feel helpless, hopeless, or lost.

Starting therapy is an act of courage.

If you know about psychotherapy from Netflix or the movies, you may have some misguided notions about what goes on in a practicing psychotherapist’s office.

I consider it a privilege to get to know you. My style is warm, patient, and engaging. I’m genuinely interested in helping you achieve the kind of life you deserve.

Lasting changes

Therapy is about making lasting changes in your life.

Many of my patients, over the years, tell me their lives have changed in ways they never thought imaginable!

That harsh, demanding, punishing, voice in your mind can lessen its grip on you; your complex emotions can get understood; and, in time, you begin to understand what may be driving your dissatisfaction or distress.

With insight, you gain more perspective.

Soon, your relationships improve – with your partner, your boss, your kids, even your parents.

Ah…. life is much better – calmer, more manageable.

You now have DIRECTION, PURPOSE and MEANING.

Let’s figure out what’s going on.

This is your journey to take, but you don’t have to take it alone.

If this sounds exactly what you are looking for, call me.
