“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” -Anais Nin.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

Have you grown frustrated with “quick fix” therapies that give temporary relief, only to discover that your underlying difficulties are still there?

It’s important to alleviate your symptoms, but that is not the whole picture. It’s taken a lifetime to create those underlying difficulties, but that doesn’t mean it will take a lifetime to correct. Focusing on personality as your psychological immune system is key to lasting, wide-ranging improvement.

Do you seem to endlessly struggle with “impossible” relationships (family, friends, romantic)?

Would it surprise you to realize that you’ve likely been “trained well” throughout your life to respond the way others want, and that anything else is uncomfortable? Small, key shifts can allow you to build more mutually satisfying bonds with important people in your life, while limiting the effects of those who may be toxic.

Do you struggle with self-critical feelings, or disempowerment in dealing with others? Do you notice it affecting everything, even your health?

When you don’t feel like you can be effective in your own life, it affects everything, from the way you feel about yourself to the way you feel, physically. Learn and believe in what it is you deserve by building self-trust, self-respect, and prioritizing what is most important.

Are you ready to make real, lasting changes and forge the life you really deserve?

Let you become the author of your own life, rather than feel like you’re written into a story in which you have little control. The facts of your narrative so far will not change, but the story you tell yourself about your history, and the way you tell your story moving forward, can make all the difference.

You’re likely here because you found yourself in long-term patterns of repetition and “stuckness.”

It may even seem like forever, and by now, you’re highly worried, deeply depressed, or even angry. It’s understandable; NONE of us came from ideal circumstances, and you’ve likely done the best you can do on your own, or even with the help of other therapists.

Now it’s time for some help. We can help you…

Learn answers to your seemingly unanswerable questions and regain a sense of direction.

Reinvigorate the “feeling” part of you, so that you’re open to the joy and celebration of life, rather than clamping down and trying not to feel.

Just like with physical fitness, build a robust psyche that opens you up to greater aspiration, more fulfilling relationships, and continued freedom from distress.
