You've been putting in so much effort for a while, but life isn’t going as planned.
It seems like everyone, including you,
is less than happy with the outcomes.

As a result, you’re trapped in fear surrounding what to do next with regard to:

your recent loss
your parenting
your relationships
your personal growth

or anything else that is high stakes for you to “just get it right.”

If you are seeking therapy from a provider who thinks differently, makes connections throughout your hour in order to get a better sense of who you are as a whole person, no matter if you lose track of what you've said or where you're going, you're in the right place. I am a therapist of therapists and neurodivergent thinkers, often seeing the big picture for folks who get lost in the muck of the painful details. Let's explore what you have going on. Let's find YOU again.
