“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a first step.”
– Lao Tzu
The Uncovering
Let me show you how it started.
In my conversation with Jasmine*, I asked her to read one of her journal entries:
As I enter tonight’s journal entry, I sit here thinking I’m not sure what happened to me.
I don’t feel the same anymore, not toward my spouse, not toward myself.
I’m overwhelmed by life stressors, and they seemed to have taken over my spirit, energy, and relationships.
I feel anxious, depressed, disconnected – and most of all, confused.
I want to feel good again
I want the love of my life to see me again.
I want to have confidence in myself and my marriage.
Most of all, I want to live again.
I want to feel happy, healthy, whole – and complete.
Does any of this sound familiar? Stay connected… Jasmine’s journey continues later.
What about me?
Sometimes we get stuck in what others expect from us.
It’s exhausting to continually try to live up to someone else’s expectations – whether it’s family, colleagues, a spouse, or even a friend.
Other times, it’s our unrealistic expectation of ourselves that sets us up for self-sabotage.
Ever thought, “Why can’t I just be myself?”
You deserve the best
Yes, you absolutely do.
How many times have you told yourself today, “I deserve the best”?
It all starts with one statement, one sentence, just like one step can begin a remarkable journey toward healing and becoming a better you.
Now onto the next part… wait for it…
You are enough
Yes, yes, you are!
Say it out loud, scream, dance while you say it, does not matter, just say it.
Undoubtedly, your negative self-talk tells you that no matter what you do, it’s just never enough.
I believe you are!
You Deserve the Best, and You Are Enough.
It’s time for you
Therapy can help uncover many layers under which you may have been hiding.
Old habits, negative thinking patterns, negative ways of communicating with a spouse, negative self-talk… uncovering these will help you identify what needs to be changed.
Don’t be afraid to take the next step in
your journey toward healing

Life is one big journey. It’s up to you to map where you want to go, who you’ll meet along the journey, and how long you’ll stop at various places.
I hope I get the opportunity to meet you. I’d be honored to take this journey with you. I’m here to help you reach those personal goals; improve your relationships; and work through any anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.
We’ve talked a lot about change and how life can be so overwhelming, frustrating, and just scary at times.
But I want you to know that no matter how crazy it gets, I want to be here to support you, laugh with you, cry with you, and offer you any guidance that I can so that you can feel happy, healthy, and complete.
