Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

We all have baggage that we carry, and we all have a story.
What’s yours?
You feel overwhelmed and disconnected from your life. Relationships have become strained and unfulfilling, and this isn’t what you wanted for your life.
Old trauma, fear, and stress leave you flooded with feelings of anger, anxiety and sadness, creating disconnection in so many areas of your life. It’s incredibly easy for this to become a pattern without you even realizing what’s happening. Before you know it, you look around and realize you’re not where you want to be in life, you feel like you don’t know who you are anymore, your spouse or partner feels a million miles away, and the people you once loved have stopped calling.
Does this sound familiar?
Your anxiety or depression has increased and now feels unbearable.
You’re experiencing struggles or heartache in your life.
Stress or strain has taken over your marriage or family relationships.
Communication and connection feel light years away with the people you value the most.
Thriving is the art of transforming wounds into wisdom, guided by the therapeutic brushstrokes of healing, creating a life filled with resiliency and growth.
It’s normal to feel lonely and isolated when you’re disconnected from your ‘Self’ and others , especially when anxiety and depression have slowly been seeping in and taking over. Your relationships may start to feel more like a burden than a positive part of your life. Feeling misunderstood and unseen leads to more arguments, and those arguments then lead to you isolating because it feels like the only way to feel safer and decrease your suffering. It’s easy to fall into a routine of using substances or moving toward people that you logically know aren’t good for you, as a way to cope with how you feel. Things that used to bring you joy just feel more like a chore, but thinking about making changes feels too overwhelming. It just seems easier to plug through life without connection or healing. It all feels too hard, but at the same time, you know this isn’t the life that you want.
You want to live a life that feels connected and meaningful.
It’s completely, entirely possible to live a life that’s packed with amazing things like:
Experiencing healthy relationships
Feeling truly seen and known
And letting go of trauma that’s keeping you stuck in old behaviors and unfulfilling relationships.
Therapy is a bold first step in finding healing and starting on the path to the life and relationships you’ve always wanted.
It’s easy to fall into a place of feeling like your story has been written for you, leaving you feeling powerless. Showing up for yourself and the life you say you want, by doing the work that’s sometimes hard and will challenge you, puts the ‘pen’ in your hand.
You’ve always been your own best expert, but the things you’ve experienced in your life and relationships have made you question that along the way. Doing the work in therapy of releasing the weight of the past is not only the way to achieving the relief you’ve desperately wanted, but is also the path to taking control of your story, your life, and your biggest desires.
When you invest the time to put you first and find healing for all your old stuff -
It’s possible to have connected relationships
It’s possible to feel safe in your body by resolving trauma
Learning how to communicate effectively can help to build safety into relationships
Being brave and learning resilience creates a more solid foundation for life
You deserve all that, and more. It’s time for you to reclaim authority over your life, the experiences you have in your relationships, and what it means - on your terms - to truly live well.
I’d love to be part of your journey - reach out today for a free consultation, and let’s get started!
Hi there. I’m Dianne!
I help people rewrite their story...
By helping people figure out how they relate to themselves and others, deal with past hurts, and understand why they feel and act the way they do. In therapy, we talk about feelings and actions, along with how they impact relationships. Therapy helps deal with old problems, build healthy and deeply connected relationships, and makes life more satisfying.
