Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel overwhelmed, lost, and alone, often effecting our moods, emotions, and behavior. I want you know that, you are not alone! I am here to help you live your best life. Whatever problems, disappointments, or life issues you are experiencing, there are workable solutions to them all. As your therapist, my goal is to help you return to your normal level of daily functioning and assist you on your journey to becoming your most authentic self.
When helping clients, I find that using various approaches to therapy help clients the most. In a supportive environment, I will assist you with identifying those things that are causing you emotional pain, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Together, we will sort through your experiences that trigger negative thoughts and/or reactions and work through them.
Indeed, life can present challenges that are hard to manage, but it is possible. Just like reaching out and seeking help can be scary. So now, you have taken the first step by looking for a therapist! If you are ready to move past the things that cause you pain and are ready to begin enjoying life, give me a call or send an email. We can do this together!
