From the outside, it may seem like your life is perfectly put together, but deep down, you're feeling unsatisfied and overly critical of yourself and others. Relaxation eludes you as your mind continually focuses on the never-ending list of things you "should" be doing. Comparisons to others often consume your thoughts. You might be struggling to find fulfillment in your relationships, both with others and, most importantly, with yourself.
You're a driven, successful, and high-achieving individual. When everything goes according to plan, life feels amazing. However, when things deviate from the expected path, self-doubt creeps in, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, grief, and burnout.
ABOUT THERAPY IN SAN ANTONIO
I’m Adriana (she/her)
I understand. And you're not alone.
The emotions you're experiencing right now are not a reflection of being "bad", but rather a natural part of being human. We all encounter big, messy emotions at times, and I want to reassure you that it's okay. The key is to reclaim the power they hold over you and regain control of your well-being.
I firmly believe that to accomplish this, we must delve into the roots of these feelings and reactions. These roots run deep, entwined not only within our minds but also our bodies and spirits. While we used to think that simply changing our thoughts would solve everything, we now recognize the importance of calming ourselves physically before we can gain the clarity needed to address and transform our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs.
In my practice, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can finally unload the burdens you've carried for so long. Together, we will harness the connection between your body and mind, empowering you to pause, find inner calmness, and approach whatever challenges life or your relationships present with confidence and resilience. Through this journey, you will discover how to flourish and thrive.
Know that I am here for you every step of the way. Let's embark on this holistic healing journey together, where you will not only feel cared for, but also empowered to cultivate a deeper connection with your true self. Your well-being and growth are of the utmost importance to me.
