You know how to anticipate everyone else's needs. You have been the steady one, the capable one, the one who figures it out.
But somewhere along the way, taking care of everyone else started meaning no room to take care of yourself. Maybe you are tired of disappointing relationships, not knowing who you are anymore, or you might be wondering if you’re doing this mom thing right.
Or you might be in a stage where your kids are grown and your parents are gone which has left you feeling a bit lost now that there is no one to take care of. Who are you now? Therapy is a place you don’t have to have all of the answers or hold it together anymore. We will explore where you’re stuck and figure out what you need, together.
Feel more clear, connected, and confident in who you are and your relationships.
Hi, I’m Erica Joosten.
I work with women who are tired of feeling like they've lost themselves in a relationship or somewhere between taking care of everyone else and just getting through the day.
Maybe you are questioning patterns you have repeated your whole life. Maybe you are a mom who loves your kids and still wonder who you are outside of that. Maybe something in your relationships continues to feel frustrating and you can't figure out why.
My approach is based in relationship and attachment. Many of our wounds happen in connection with others and I believe that compassionate connection has the same power. This means that I view our therapeutic relationship as a key part of experiencing healing and change.
When you experience what it feels like to be truly seen and understood, something shifts inside of you. In how you see yourself and how you show up for the people you love.
My hope for our work together is that you will leave knowing who you are and what you want. And that you will feel confident enough to ask for what you need, say it out loud, and live authentically. Even when the people around you have feelings about that.
