There is no roadmap to life, love and relationships.
But you’re smart. You’re driven. You’re a dreamer with big ideas and big plans to match.
You see a string of days ahead of you. Out of bed and off to work. Count the hours until the weekend. Celebrate on Friday. Lament on Sunday night. Repeat.
Nothing new. Nothing real. Nothing is ever good enough.
You make it your mission to live up to others’ expectations of you.
But pleasing everyone else is like chasing a moving target, and it hasn’t led to the rewarding life you imagined for yourself.
Instead, you’re left feeling unfulfilled, disappointed. Frustrated and unhappy. Feeling scared of vulnerability and hiding who you really are is wearing on you.
Your relationships are draining. It feels like you’re carrying around a body bag full of fears and insecurities.
You know that there must be more to life than this, but you’re still waiting for someone to give you the green light, to just go.
Where did you get off course?
The script you’ve been following is holding you back from the story you want your life to depict – the story only you can write.
But living in the fast-paced, epicenter of New York City, finding time to unplug and reflect on what is and isn’t working in your life seems impossible.
How did you get to this place? And how can you find your way on the road again without a map?
You want to feel happy again.
What would happen if you rewrite your script and fall in love with your life (again)?
Here’s the interesting part: To take care of others, we need to put our oxygen masks on first. By accepting ourselves fully (flaws included) and leaning into who we really are, our relationships benefit from the calm and confident person we become as a result.
When you take ownership of your life, people feel empowered to follow suit.
Your courage to live your truth becomes contagious.
So, what do you really want? How do you want to feel?
You are starring in your life. Right here, right now. This is IT.
You can have a happier life and more fulfilling relationships. Getting there starts with awareness and a desire for change. It’s within your reach, and therapy can help.
It’s time to send your inner critic packing. Let’s work together to get you back to the best version of yourself.

Most people wait for change to happen as life goes on without them. You’re not most people.
