At times, life is hard. The life we always envisioned is not matching up to our reality. Life has thrown us a curve ball and we don't know what to do. Sometimes, we wake up with feelings of sadness, fear or anger, which could stick with us throughout the day. These feelings can sometimes affect us from completing our everyday tasks or even our relationships with others. The things we are trying are not working. We want things to change; but don’t know how or where to start. Therapy might be that the place to begin.
Change can be scary, but therapy does not have to be. You might be wondering if therapy is right for you. Through therapy, we will work together in challenging any negative thoughts that may be in the way from achieving the overall happiness that you deserve.
Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, loss or relationship issues, together, we can get you to the place you have been wanting to be. Call or email me for a free telephone consultation to see if therapy is the right fit for you.
