Why Therapy?

We all want to feel at home in our own skin. Yet many of us go through life feeling alienated from ourselves, whether because of fear and anxiety, sadness and grief, guilt and shame, or a deep and abiding sense that we are not living the life we were meant to live. We judge ourselves relentlessly, even as we give others the benefit of the doubt.

You might find yourself:

• Being overly critical of yourself, or feeling like nothing you do is quite good enough.

• Struggling to express yourself or communicate what you really think and feel.

• Feeling anxious about how others perceive you, or feeling vulnerable to criticism and rejection.

• Having difficulty figuring out what you want, or finding a sense of direction and purpose.

• Feeling disconnected from your creativity, spontaneity, or the parts of yourself that make life feel meaningful.

As children, we have so much creative potential, but as we grow older we tend to lose touch with that playful, spontaneous part of ourselves. This is the same part of us that makes us feel alive, that gives us a sense of vitality in our everyday lives.

Therapy helps to re-establish our connection to the creativity within us, and this in turn allows us to move through life with a greater sense of meaning and purpose.
