Welcome to
Your Healing Journey
Whether you are navigating challenging life transitions or relationships, dealing with anxiety or depression, or are looking for a space to focus on personal evolution and healing - I am so honored that you’re considering me as your companion in this process.
It can be so overwhelming to try and figure out what specifically is causing you distress, or why - even though you know better - you are stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. It’s not uncommon to feel like it is the result of some personal failure or you are “just not trying hard enough.” Well, I can confidently say it is much more complicated than that, and I am here to help you untangle that web.
Regardless of what has brought you here, I work to make sure I offer a safe and warm environment where you feel empowered and supported every step of the way.
Why are you called “Balanced Third” Therapy?
Many aspects of life fall on a spectrum of sorts. For example:
Never ever moving your body - OR - Overexercising multiple hours everyday
Expressing every single emotion - OR - Never expressing how you feel
Never caring about others - OR - Always caring about others and never yourself
Putting work above all else 24/7 - OR - Putting home above all else 24/7
And when we live our life on the extreme outer thirds of the spectrum, we often feel burnt out, disconnected, unhappy, or unhealthy. That’s why I work with clients on figuring out how to exist in that middle third of the spectrum and feel more balanced and at ease. What feels balanced (let’s say with the first example related to exercise) will be different for each person. The important part is to develop the self awareness to know what balance feels like for you, and the warning signs that you are moving outside of the balanced third. It isn’t realistic to be perfectly balanced, all the time, in the very center of the spectrum. So, we give ourselves grace for the ever changing day to day happenings of life, which is why it is a balanced third.
When working with couples, we can apply the same idea, especially related to compromise. We can’t always completely meet our partner(s) in the very middle, and the pressure of that expectation often puts a strain on the relationship. But, if we can just aim to meet our partner(s) within that balanced third, then all partners are able to feel some level of balance and ease, which allows for compromise and moving forward. We can learn how to help each other catch ourselves before we start to leave the middle third and move back toward the extremes that have not been serving our relationship.
