You feel detached from your life.
Completely alone. Moving through each day, invisible and unheard.
Everything feels so out of reach, and just getting out of bed each morning takes all your energy.
Motivation is impossible to summon, and your low self-esteem is at an all-time low.
Anxiety is constant.
You worry about every aspect of your life – your family, your job, and all your relationships.
You worry about things entirely beyond your control, like politics, the environment, and the future.
No matter what you do, an ever-present fear and sadness weighs you down.
You’re a freaking perfectionist.
Despite all your accomplishments, you still feel like you’ve failed when you’re anything less than perfect.
You keep pushing yourself harder – longer hours, fewer breaks, every second of your schedule packed.
It’s exhausting and draining to live this way, but the idea of letting anyone down is too much to bear.
Your relationship is up Schitt’s Creek.
Talking to your partner stirs up anxiety and tension. You sit in your car longer than necessary when arriving home.
The blame game is fierce. Often, you feel disrespected and not heard. Intimacy has flown out the window.
You question whether you want to stay or if it’s time to leave.
It negatively affects your kids’ schooling, lives, and relationships because they see and hear your arguments.
Your Parent/Teen Relationship Feels Nuts!
Parents
Parents, your teen is no longer listening to you concerning their grades, their curfew, and household rules.
Their attitude has changed, and often, it feels like they’re embarrassed to be with you.
Communication has gone on vacation, and you’re at a loss.
Teens
Teens, your parents never listen to you.
There are too many adult bosses.
You want more freedom, a later curfew, and your grades are never good enough.
Your parents question how you dress and who you hang out with.
Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.
– Debbie Gregory
Will you be stuck in this muck forever?
There is a way out. Change, even healthy change, can be scary, and you have the power to create the life you want.
You can accomplish your goals, rediscover your passions, and feel much better about yourself.
With mindfulness-based therapy and life coaching, you’ll become empowered to let go of what’s holding you back and embrace the good in your life.
Whether you are straight, LGBTQIA+, or of any diverse background, I welcome you.
Imagine all that we can create together! Call me now to get started today!
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
– Carl Rogers
Hi, I’m Michelle!
I am not your stereotypical therapist (you know, the one sitting quietly in their chair, head down, taking notes).
I interact with my clients. I am involved in the conversation, and I hear you. I will be by your side, and I will understand.
I’ll support you through your struggles, achievements, sadness, and hilarious and not-so-hilarious stories. Tell me about your thoughts, feelings, ideas, hopes, dreams, and fears. Come just as you are.
When we work together, you will have a co-active therapist who will listen to you, guide you, and encourage you to move forward in life.
I will offer you a curious mind, a compassionate heart, and strategies to create the life you deserve.
Shrug off your stress with comfort, humor, and ease
It’s time to start living with radiance, enthusiasm, and an open heart.
