Does it feel like you’ve lost your way?

Are you feeling stuck? Panicked?

Are you worrying about everything in midlife? Your family, your job, finances, home improvement projects, added pounds around the middle…is the worry keeping you up at night and leaving you with a sense of dread and overwhelm? You’re trying to stay informed about the world, yet each day’s news brings more worry and concern.

Not sleeping well has made you irritable and lethargic. Stress, decision-making, regrets are making you feel disappointed, sad, leading to thoughts of hopelessness. Perhaps you’re ruminating on mistakes made, lost opportunities or saying the wrong thing to a loved one.

You think about the past, wishing you did things differently or had made other choices. Shame, guilt and despair are feelings you’ve become more familiar with. When you think about the future, it brings up fear and more questions than answers. This isn’t how you’d hope life in the middle would feel.

 You want to feel better, have energy, quiet the inner-critic & be more in control of your life. You want relief from the anxiety hamster wheel and that dark-cloud-overhead feeling. When you feel stuck, it’s hard to see your way out.

Therapy can help by giving you helpful, healthy coping tools, new ways to see yourself and a fresh perspective on your life…leading to personal growth and positive changes.
