Sisu Psychotherapy & Wellness

I will not rescue you for you are not powerless.
I will not fix you for you are not broken
I will not heal you for I see you in your wholeness
I will walk with you through your darkness while you remember your light

Hi! Welcome to Sisu Psychotherapy and Wellness

Seeking therapy is such a courageous act of strength and self-compassion. We often spend so much time pouring our energy into our jobs, school, family and friends that it feels like there isn't much left for us. As a result, we end up feeling anxious, depleted and stuck. Making the decision to prioritize ourselves can look different for everyone but for those who don't know where to begin, therapy is a great start. It can be your first step. At Sisu Psychotherapy and Wellness, we will explore your strengths and how to cultivate them to their full potential while also getting curious about what's less developed for you and how we can give those things more life.

I provide individual therapy to teens and adults ages +12 years old both in-person and via telehealth specializing in trauma, grief and loss, and anxiety. My office is located in a horse barn where you may have the opportunity to work with my horses during your session. 
​It would be an honor and privilege to assist you on your journey. Let's connect!

What is "Sisu"?
Picture
The term sisu is a Finnish word that doesn't have a direct translation in English but represents a concept deeply ingrained in Finnish culture. It refers to a unique blend of resilience, determination, courage, and perseverance in the face of adversity or challenge. Sisu embodies the idea of pushing forward, even when things seem impossible, and staying committed to a goal despite setbacks or difficult circumstances. It implies an inner strength and willpower that enables individuals to continue their efforts, often beyond what seems reasonable. It can be seen as the Finnish mindset of tackling life's challenges with grit and a quiet, steadfast determination. It is a value that often draws admiration for its depth and ability to inspire people to overcome obstacles with relentless persistence.
We have all called upon our Sisu at some point in our lives whether it be giving a presentation at school, becoming a new parent, the loss of a loved one or navigating life after something life-changing. It is what keeps us moving forward during times of despair. Sisu Psychotherapy and Wellness was born to support those who are struggling, develop this muscle; to empower people in discovering how to move through their pain, towards the serenity on the other side. ​
