Let's face it: life can be hard. Maybe you're facing stress and overwhelming anxiety, or unwanted thoughts that keep intruding into your life. Perhaps you're stuck in that grey, hopeless fog of depression. Maybe you've been highly self-critical and you want to learn to be nicer to yourself. Or maybe you're just trying to build some life skills so you feel more comfortable navigating your life and relationships. Whatever the case, you could use someone on your team.
I think counseling works best if it's something you look forward to. I'll bring my genuine, occasionally goofy self and encourage you to be authentic too. And then we'll get down to work: we'll find unhelpful patterns in your life and, using an approach based on cognitive behavior therapy, practice alternatives that you find more empowering and joyful.
No matter how stuck you might feel, change is possible. It takes work, but you can build the skills and perspectives you need to grow and reach your goals. I'm here to help. If you're ready to try something new, please contact me today.
