You're slamming the alarm clock; it was another night of broken sleep. Feeling drained and wishing for a moment of peace and happiness. You are giving to others when you're running low and rarely have time for yourself. Pressures and stress are piling up and weighing on your shoulders. You want to reach out for help but are scared of being vulnerable. At night when you lay down to sleep, the thoughts are racing and the worries return. All that you want is understanding, support, and acceptance.
Therapy can help you find the understanding, support, and acceptance you seek in your relationships and in yourself. Through exploring your values, processing your thoughts and emotions, and discovering who you are, you can connect with others in a meaningful way.
Whenever you're ready, please send me an email to schedule your session or free consultation today. I look forward to connecting with you!
