Why Psychotherapy?

  • You might be seeking a therapist if:

    You are going through a life transition

    You have experienced grief or loss

    You are questioning aspects of your identity or long-held beliefs

    You are feeling stuck

    You are experiencing anxiety or depression

    You are curious about what it would be like to devote time and energy toward better understanding your feelings and reactions

  • “Whoever you are, and whatever helps, I hope today is a day you are finding the softest way through.”

    — Andrea Gibson

  • Other reasons you might come to therapy with loved ones (partners, parents, siblings, children, etc.):

    You want support navigating boundaries in your relationship

    You are navigating differences in beliefs or values

    You want support healing after betrayal

    You want to improve communication

    You have been through trauma or loss

  • “You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor. You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.”

    — Tricia Hersey, Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto

  • “In a society that has everything to gain from our numbness, what does it mean to risk ourselves on feeling? And feeling deeply and honestly. Emotional truthtelling is a liberation practice.”

    — Cole Arthur Riley
