Kaitlyn Rusca
Marriage & Family Therapist -
Perhaps you are standing on a threshold, a doorway in between the life you have known and the life ahead of you. You may feel disconnected from yourself, from what used to give your life meaning – things have fallen apart and you don’t know where to begin in picking up the pieces. You are walking in the dark, overwhelmed by the unknown, maybe feeling depressed or anxious, or both. I am here to sit with you in that scary, and sometimes exciting space, to help you be attentive to your Self, to uncover the deep well of wisdom and strength that lies within you.
I offer holistic therapy that honors and integrates mind, body, heart, and spirit. I meet clients with warmth and acceptance as well as gentle challenge and encouragement. I help clients dig deeper into the roots of what they are struggling with so that lasting change can happen, while also offering tools, like mindfulness and self-compassion, to cope with difficult thoughts and emotions.
It would be my honor and privilege to:
Sit with you in your questions,
Stay with you as you journey into your pain,
Hold space for you as you break open your wounds and listen for their gifts,
Accept all of you – your brokenness, imperfections, quirks, gifts and all – as you learn to love yourself,
Support you as you find your voice and write a more life-giving story,
Cheer you on as you discover a transformative way forward.
