Hi there! Good for you for looking for a therapist :) I encourage you to do consultations or sessions with multiple therapists. You'll quickly see that we're vastly different. Remember grade school teachers? They could make or break a class, and maybe there were only a few you really connected with. Also true for therapy! So book at least a few consults and sessions; the search itself can be therapeutic. Two major things to look for are emotional safety ("Can share things without feeling judged?") and resonance ("Do they get me?"). Most importantly, practice trusting your intuition.

You’ve worked hard your whole life to make life beautiful—for yourself and for everyone who relies on you. But sometimes, the closer you get to making everything perfect, the more everything seems to fall apart. Maybe you're feeling like you're falling apart, too. Maybe you’re exhausted from keeping it all together. Maybe you just need some help because maintaining such high standards for so long has taken its toll.

I have been blessed with many incredible mentors throughout my journey as a human and as a therapist, and I now can share their collective wisdom along with my life experience, with you. Therapy offer a process of healing learn to be present together, allowing awareness to expand in a safe place. Here, truth can be expressed, allowing transformation. Typically we default to distraction, intoxication or denial when a we can't genuinely connect with ourselves. "Process addictions", loss, trauma and shame creep in and inhibit our sense of Self. Through therapy, our clarity, healing and ease with emotional intimacy can finally emerge.

If you're thinking about therapy, you're taking a brave, active step toward positive change. This might be hard to see right now, when things may not be going so well, but that's how a good helping professional interprets your call for support--as evidence of your wisdom and strength. Perhaps you're thinking about therapy for reasons like these: uncomfortable feelings that just won't go away (dissatisfaction, emptiness, anger, or "overwhelm"); relationship problems; challenging life shifts or situations; problematic or self-harming behaviors; frustrating, unexplained aches and pains; or questions about identity, image, and meaning.
