We all try our best to stay balanced. We take the little hits life throws our way, try to manage and overcome. Sex, love, money, communication, who we are and what we feel, that "devil on our shoulder" that sometimes gets a bigger say than we'd like... We try to find ways to cope, but when we stay overwhelmed we may become used to coping. What used to feel temporary turns permanent, and constant struggle becomes the "new normal." We want to find our way through it, but it can feel so overwhelming.
Our approach will be tailored to your specific experiences and needs. No two clients are alike, and you deserve to be treated as the individual you are. No matter what you struggle with I recognize your need for a comfortable space, and a thoughtful approach to your therapy. No matter your needs, we can work together towards improvement!
You are doing a vulnerable, brave thing in beginning therapy, and I appreciate and honor how difficult this can be. I can offer guidance, insight and knowledge on the path to the better you that you seek, and we can navigate the hurdles along the way together.

I find it is always best as your therapist to focus on understanding you on your own terms, and crafting a treatment plan that best fits your goals and needs. Approaching sessions from multiple perspectives can greatly help that.
