The people I work with mostly have their shit together but feel like there’s more to life. They are insightful and want more meaning in life.

MySpectrum: A Practice, Not a Platform With the onset of COVID-19 and the booming world of virtual options for many services, including therapy, it is hard to tell what’s behind the scenes.

You might even choose one of these options and find that the process is smooth to get you scheduled. It could even be that you are connected with a Therapist who fits you like a glove. That would be ide...

I love working with people who are curious about themselves and may label themselves as a highly sensitive person (HSP). Those who feel intensely and are acutely aware of the hurts of others. Those who find themselves giving time and time again to others while sacrificing their own needs. I also have a special interest in complex and childhood trauma (t...
Grief can make us feel lost and confused, but we can feel better. People typically think grief and loss are solely about losing a loved one. But we endure ambiguous losses more often than acknowledged. It can occur through experiences such as depression, anxiety, a relationship break-up, pandemics, or other life events. Although the emotions might seem to be everlasting, healing is achievable. I believe everyone needs support from others at some point in their lives. That does not mean they are ...

Something isn’t working. Sometimes, nothing is working. Even daily reminders that help is needed engenders worry that acknowledging problems will make them more real. We may wonder if it’s best to accept fleeting comfort from the ways we’re used to. Cold comfort feels better than no comfort. But if you’re reading this, a part of you suspects that just because it feels that way doesn’t mean it has to be that way. Life is hard, change is harder, but ignoring the call toward change is the harde...
