When our quality of life suffers, we suffer. We can feel pushed, pulled, stretched, judged, or used by people. We look away from that emotional pain and cope. We lose ourselves and our dreams. If this is you, therapy can help. We live by rules. Not all serve us well. Most likely there are patterns you are repeating. Even if people cause you stress, there's a reason you keep them in your life. There are ways you relate to them that you can change. In turn, perhaps they will treat you differently. You can feel better. I can help.
You've handled things alone, but those tense and rigid feelings are there. Maybe resentment and persistent worry contributes to low mood. Let someone help. People have different motivations for starting therapy including life transitions or stress. Others need assistance managing self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationships, and creative blocks.
Therapy provides encouragement and help with skills. What keeps us from asking for help? We routinely ask for help with car repairs, home maintenance, doctors, and dentists. Isn't it time to take care of you? Let's meet and you decide. We want to help you live better.
