While everyone occasionally experiences feeling different, those of us who are "misfits" (Yes, I wear my misfit badge proudly!) feel it in the majority of situations and have felt it the majority of our lives. So, is therapy some magic bullet that is going to make you suddenly feel like you fit in? Absolutely not. However, I can, through our therapeutic relationship, help you embrace who you are, let go of your mask, and lean in to what makes you uniquely you!

However, I want to be straight up, the process of acknowledging and accepting you are not going to be like other people, can bring feelings like on anxiety, depression, or grief. You may mourn "normalcy" (you know, that feeling of wanting to being like everyone else). Just because you are different doesn't mean that you don't WANT to connect, find your "old sames," or feel a part of your community. In fact, as a misfit, you often want to connect with people even more because you know the pain of loneliness all too well. That being said, having a virtual therapist who accepts you and encourages your unique individuality, sometimes for the first time in your life, can allow you to grow into your full self. If you are feeling like a misfit, know you are not alone! Many of my clients have felt like an outsider in their own families. All that being said IT IS GOING TO BE TOTALLY WORTH IT!

My clients often find they feel liberated for the first time in their lives. They have found that since they have stopped trying to hide their authenticity and trying to be who they are not, life feels like it is worth living again. They’ve found that since they let go of what others think, they have begun living a lighter, happier life. A life that allows them to be the creative visionaries they always were. The good news is that you can too!
