A space to unpack, to breathe, to belong

A lot of doubt and uncertainty comes from not knowing if we are worthy, if we’re leading “worthwhile” lives, if we are good enough to take chances, to state our needs, to show up as ourselves and not who others want, expect, or demand that we be.

Before we can ask others to meet our needs, we first have to take the deep dive of figuring out what that looks like for ourselves. As women, we are often applauded for being selfless, undemanding, or easy going. In short, we receive praise for taking a back seat to our own lives.

How often do you endlessly pour yourself out only to give yourself life’s leftovers? 

Therapy is a time to unpack old narratives and unlock the barriers that keep you from showing up for yourself authentically and unapologetically. You may be struggling with unexpressed or unspoken needs. You may be wrestling with difficult emotions trying to ignore, numb, or get rid of them altogether. I will join you in that space, helping you change and expand your relationship to your emotions and with yourself so that you can stop running and start living. 

How Do You Relate to Your Emotions?

We all carry scripts around emotions and our emotional needs. It could be anything from emotions are scary, they are inconvenient, they make no sense, they’re overwhelming, to I just don’t have time for them and they hold me back. How did you learn that? Let’s explore those narratives!

How Do You Relate to Your Worthiness and Wellness?

Is your self-worth rooted in who you are or on a list of goals that keeps expanding just out of reach? For many of us, we tell ourselves that we will be good enough when….

I get the job promotion. 

I find the right partner. 

I don’t struggle with anxiety.

I hit that number on the scale.

I can control my depression. 

I graduate from school.

I can purchase a home. 

My life doesn’t feel messy.

I’m PERFECT.

“‘Wellness is the freedom to move fluidly through the cycles of being human. Wellness is thus not a state of being; it is a state of action.”

- Emily & Amelia Nagoswki

Transformation happens when you change the way that you relate to yourself. For some of us, that means catching and changing how we talk to ourselves. For others, it’s facing and sitting with emotions rather than trying to avoid them. When we show up with kindness for our struggles, we can start to create a life where our messy and beautiful imperfections are more than good enough.
