They say, "The first step in always the hardest". Although this is true in many circumstances, it is especially true when it comes to seeking therapy. It is not easy to come to terms with the idea of needing support through this phase in your life. It's even harder to face the idea that you will need to open up to a stranger and trust them with sides of yourself that you prefer to keep private. That said, I want to commend you on taking the first step and getting the process of finding the right therapist for you started. You've gotten through one of the harder parts of this journey! It would be an honor for me to accompany you on the rest of it...
Although I work with a diverse population of clients who are dealing with an array of issues, my areas of specialty include a spectrum of anxiety related disorders, ranging from generalized anxiety, to infertility/pregnancy related anxiety, to transitional times in one's life that may be causing an increased level of anxiety. Although I feel that diagnosing a client may be necessary in certain circumstances, I am much more interested in getting to know my clients as a whole person as opposed to a cluster of symptoms. There are so many facets to each of us, and that's what makes us beautiful.
I believe that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and sometimes, we go through times in our lives in which it seems like our weaknesses are all we can see. That's where I step in. I'm here to help you see the complete you, and to help you use positive thinking and mindfulness to get in touch with the elements of yourself that make you unique and special. I know how hard it can be to find the right therapist, and I would love the opportunity to see if I'm the right one for you. I am happy to schedule a complimentary phone consultation to see if we are a good fit to help you meet your goals!
