It takes a great amount of courage to be seeking a therapist as you are doing right now. You have made the choice to seek out help, and for that, I can say you are already on your journey of healing. In a session with me, you will find acceptance, understanding, and compassion with any challenge you are facing. No matter what your goal is, you don't have to do it alone.
I have been very fortunate to work with a wide range of populations including traumatic brain injury, substance abuse, eating disorders, couples and relationship issues, gender identity issues, borderline personality disorder, and men's issues. All of which have had multiple challenges within them stemming from depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Sometimes, It takes time to find the right fit for you, Whoever you choose to be with you on this journey, I hope it's someone that can truly help you reach your goal. Even if I am a main side character in your story or a footnote that leads you in the direction to a therapist that helped you, I hope we have the pleasure of crossing paths, be well!
