  • Breakup Support

    Breakup Support

    Breakups can be an isolating time.

    OMG – this cannot be happening again!

    Why can I never keep a relationship? How do I manage to drive all my potential partners away?

    Am I that hard to be around?

    Giving of myself doesn’t seem to satisfy.

    I feel like I bend over backward for my partner!

    They don’t appreciate me.

    All I do is give, give, give, and it’s never enough!

    Being alone again is hard and makes me feel so unwanted.

    This really sucks.

    If you are dealing with (another) breakup, we got you.

    If you took a survey of your friends and family, how many of them would say they have been through heartbreak?

    How many movies, books, songs, and paintings have been brought to life to depict unrequited love or the ending of a relationship?

    Take a minute to think about it.

    You’re not alone. A lot of people have been through a breakup.

    There is nothing wrong with you. Not all relationships are meant to last.

    Some relationships teach us valuable lessons, while others might just happen to show us exactly what we don’t want out of a partnership.

    Still, moving forward requires inner work.

    You might have some limiting beliefs about others to sort through. The truth is, holding onto these beliefs will make partnering up in the future more challenging.

    Or perhaps, it’s even more profound than that – maybe these limiting beliefs are about you. (Pro Tip: When you have limiting beliefs about yourself, you’ll see mirror images of these beliefs everywhere.)

    Time for an upgrade.

    We want to help you through this tough time. You deserve to live a life filled with joy, love, romance, sex, pleasure, companionship, and all the good stuff!

    You deserve to come out of this experience full of self-love and clarity on what you’re looking for out of life.

    If you’re suffering after a breakup and need support, reach out to one of our talented therapists.

  • The Black Sheep

    The Black Sheep

    They just don’t really understand you.

    You’re feeling like the black sheep once again.

    Your face flushed with pulsating heat, your palms slick with sweat, all the eyes in the room burning straight through you.

    Mortified, you long to fall into a black hole and disappear into the void.

    Speaking up in front of other people just isn’t your “thing.” Why isn’t it easier just to talk to people?

    Some call it being “the black sheep”- not fitting in anywhere, feeling like the odd one out.

    And that starts to feel lonely after a while.

    Not like the others…

    Everything about you is… different. From head to toe and back again. You march to the beat of your own drummer most of the time.

    Parties, family reunions, even at work – there you are. Alone. On your own. It’s easier that way.

    Wading through countless memories – making jokes that repeatedly fall flat, overhearing disparaging comments about your clothes or interests, even your loved ones thoughtlessly devaluing your very identity.

    Why bother? You don’t seem to fit in quite right – anywhere.

    Explaining yourself – again – has taken its toll.

    All the pressure – all the fear – all the frustration – any thoughtful communication is difficult, if not downright impossible.

    Someone reaches out to you – a second of glimmering possibility. Yet you find yourself quick to react, rather than present enough to pause and ask yourself how you want to show up at this moment.

    The words sometimes pour out in a chaotic rush – embarrassed again!

    All your effort, and yet… so very awkward.

    You wonder if anyone will ever be able to accept you – simply for who you are.

    But the situation’s not hopeless. And you’re not hopeless; far from it.

    You’re Worthy.

    The world needs your unique way of being. Your voice, your perspective, your approach to life are all necessary – and meaningful.

    It’s time you take up the space you deserve.

    It’s ok to put yourself first and safe to believe in yourself.

    Don’t deny yourself – like so many others have.

    Developing self-love is a process.

    Learning to love your quirks and your uniqueness isn’t an overnight phenomenon – it takes dedication, commitment, and consistency.

    It also takes being seen, honored, validated, and valued for who you truly are.

    Confidence and self-appreciation are the keys to your success.

    The feeling of being the black sheep can actually lead you to beautiful places.

    Commit yourself to honoring the individuality you possess.

    Are you going to be scared? Yes.

    Are you willing to do it anyway? I hope so.

    Working with me, you will receive my undivided attention.

    I’ll listen to you and truly hear what you have to say.

    I’ll help you see your superpowers for what they are – unique gifts to improve your life.

    Say YES to yourself. Say YES to this moment. Say YES to the power within.

  • Anxiety as Empowerment

    Anxiety as Empowerment

    Worrying is more than a passing feeling.

    You can’t even remember the last time you didn’t worry about something.

    You often find yourself with sweaty palms, tired, and spilling coffee everywhere from your jittery hands.

    Your mind is continually racing, trying to predict the future.

    If you look up “overthinking” in the dictionary, your picture looks back at you (messy bun and all).

    Anxiety is practically your middle name.

    Does any of this sound familiar?

    These feelings are not unique to you.

    The fact is that many people struggle with anxiety. You are not alone!

    Anxiety is a common part of life in our modern world.

    Like many people, you might be constantly striving, thinking about the future, and trying to plan your next moves.

    The function of this is perpetual planning, trying to predict all the potential outcomes for you to feel like you have control over what will happen.

    The fact is that individuals control very little outside of ourselves. And trying to have control sparks more anxiety.

    It’s a vicious cycle.

    One way I like to view anxiety is as an emotion that allows you to deal with stressful situations by pointing you in the direction of where to take action.

    In this way, your anxiety is like a roadmap to freedom.

    But it doesn’t feel this way. It’s stressful!

    If your anxiety seems more persistent, you can learn how to turn your anxiety into a way to empower yourself.

    What? Use anxiety to empower myself? Yup!

    It requires learning to recognize triggers and signals.

    You can start to see these sensations and racing thoughts that usually signal your anxiety as a clue to do some more in-depth inner work.

    Anxiety is showing up because there is a deeper calling that you are not answering.

    There is something more to life that you need help in excavating, uncovering, exploring, and putting into motion.

    And I can teach you how to do this.

    Therapy with me can help you get closer to your true calling and put steps in place to walk in that direction.

    Let’s replace worrying with empowerment.
