See Jody's Details for:
Jody serves hard workers looking for answers and a plan. She especially connects with young adults who are goal oriented but feeling stuck and confused. Her clients are go-getters and they feel like everyone is counting on them to make the right decisions. They are often worried that failure is right around the corner. They appear to be balancing an overly full plate but lose track of their own needs. They want so badly to be seen as competent and make As at school and in life. They can see success just out of reach and they are hoping that with the right help, they will get there.
Of course, therapy often looks like talking about problems, but over time you will notice your progress. Maybe the feeling of panic is gone. Maybe you have closer relationships. Maybe you feel confident enough to speak up when it matters. Maybe you can walk through your days not questioning your every move.
Sessions with Jody will hopefully feel like a break from the business of life. You will meet with her online, and each week she will hold the space to check in with yourself and your needs. We will work on observing your life with curiosity and compassion, not judgement and shame. Jody is deeply committed to helping each person lower their daily stress level so they stop feeling like there is never enough time.
