Life transitions can be expected or unexpected (job loss, break-up/divorce, grief/loss, school beginnings/endings, moving, etc.). What happens when someone is feeling stuck, unable to move forward, maybe replaying the past, or caught up in the future that they are missing out on the now? Anxiety about what may or may not happen or depression about what has or is happening, does affect people in different ways. Whether you already have a support system of family and/or friends or not, a therapist can bring a more balanced perspective into the situation you are facing.
I treat clients who have depression, anxiety, relationship, and life transition issues. Together, we will problem solve areas that you've been having difficulties with and come up with a plan, so that you're able to work through what it is that's bringing you into therapy. The modality I use most often for treatment is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
I bring a gentleness and genuineness into therapy work. I strongly believe in validating your experiences through listening very attentively to what you are saying. I offer hope and encouragement.
