You're feeling anxious, overwhelmed or maybe even fearful of the future. All you've been wanting is to feel understood and validated by those around you. You remember times when you've felt better, more yourself, but now you just feel so disconnected. Going through challenges like these can feel really isolating, but you do not need to go it alone. Connecting with a therapist can be a great way to start your healing journey. My favorite part of being a therapist is having the opportunity to sit across from someone and help them feel seen, valued and understood, while also offering day to day tools to help them feel better.
A big part of our work together will be connecting you back to your strengths and building compassion for yourself. We will work on understanding what is causing the cycles of high anxiety, stress or depression in order to break them. I have worked with struggles like hoarding disorder, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety and depression.
My priority is creating a warm, judgment-free zone, where you can feel comfortable talking about whatever is on your mind. I strive to find a balance of validating and supporting while also challenging you to become your own problem solver. If you feel like we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to schedule an intake or phone consult.
