A Stranger in Your Own Life

Reflecting on your life, wondering what happened…

You have tried so hard to get it right – stellar grades in college, successful career, friends.

From the outside everything seems to be in place.

The home, the car, the kids, the spouse – you are surrounded by all the markers of a good life.

But you can’t fool yourself.

None of these things can take away the nagging doubts that you will fail.

Or that others can see how much of an imposter you really are.

So, you spend time trying to avoid detection.

Working yourself to exhaustion, endlessly helping your friends and family members, trying to “better yourself” through exercise, meditation, spiritual pursuits – none of it quiets that incessant voice.
Several weeks into any new endeavor you realize you still can’t sleep at night because your mind is so busy.

Slowly, you start slipping into previous destructive habits.

Allow me to help you.

I specialize in EMDR therapy, which is a highly effective treatment that resolves the root causes of issues, such as perfectionism, anxiety, low self-esteem, addictions, and depression.

I often combine this with Somatic Psychotherapy for the best results.

I have been told by clients that they have gotten further, faster with me than with previous therapists.

Allow yourself to imagine…

Waking up in the morning calm and refreshed from a good night’s rest, feeling excited for the workday in front of you. After all, you are giving an important work presentation today that may well lead to that promotion you have been dreaming of.

Standing up to your passive aggressive colleague, who is vying for the same promotion and just loves to “jokingly” insult you in front of peers and even your boss.

Getting home from work at a decent hour, no longer willing to put all those extra hours into work, trying to prove yourself, when you can spend the time with your partner and kids.

Spending quality time with friends and family, comfortable with the vulnerability it takes to interact more openly with them.

Ending an inconsistent, but ongoing relationship with overeating and/or drinking “just a couple more glasses of wine”, as you no longer need these things to soothe the stress.

Don’t be a stranger to yourself any longer.
