At Just as You Are, I get that your relationship impacts every part of your life. Whether you’re raising children, pursuing career and life dreams, or simply coping with the major and minor stressors that life throws your way, your relationship can use support, tools and nourishment.

If you find that you and your partner are arguing more and more often, have had an abrupt breach of trust, or if you are simply exploring whether you can reconnect after drifting apart, I can help you rebuild or find clarity about next steps.

I draw from the Gottman Method, using three initial assessment sessions to ensure that I tailor interventions to your specific needs. I also pull from a variety of evidence-based practices that can shift how you and your partner relate to each other, increase affection and understanding, and provide clarity in areas where you feel stuck. When your partner starts to feel like your enemy, it’s time for a change.

With some amazing advances in technology, we can be in touch around the clock. And because we can be in touch, sometimes there are expectations that we should be more and more responsive. It is more and more difficult to keep work and our personal lives separate. Balancing work, family, caregiving, friendships, personal growth… all while trying to be “enough,” can create a sense of hopelessness and exhaustion.

Burnout disconnects us from those we love, those we might want to be closer to, and ourselves! It’s harder to find joy in daily activities, and often resentment simmers underneath that others are living the life that you want.

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, overworked and struggling to find meaningful change, I invite you to reach out and see if I can support you. I use evidence-based therapies that can help you work through systemic barriers and find opportunities to alleviate your ongoing stress. I help you return to yourself and your loved ones.

Do you often find yourself prioritizing what others want for fear that they will be upset? Do you chronically avoid conflict and try to read what others want in your relationships? Do you sometimes struggle to even know what it is that you want?

People pleasing is a survival strategy. Somewhere along the way, you learned that making others happy (and deprioritizing your own needs) was the easiest way for you to stay safe. Whether it was ensuring that your explosive teacher wouldn’t yell at you, keeping your bullies off your back, or making your struggling parent happy, people pleasing served its purpose.

At Just As You Are, I work with you to uncover your core values, develop strategies to retain your thoughtful and kind ways, while redirecting some of that compassion toward yourself for a more balanced life. It will take work, and it can be uncomfortable, but a simpler way of living is possible.

We have all struggled with sleep at some point in our lives. This can often lead to lower mood, increased frustration, and a general sense of hopelessness.

There are so many factors that can impact sleep - from getting enough sunlight, work, children, stress, or what we eat and drink. Sometimes the tricky part is figuring out what to do about it.

Using my training in CBT-I, the gold standard for treating insomnia, we can work on improving your experience of sleep. I will also explore possible root causes of your difficulty with sleep - if the cause is ongoing, then we can focus on the source of your stress.

If you are noticing changes in your mood, irritability, and you are struggling to focus, I can likely help. Reach out for a free consult.
