Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated or stressed? Is it effecting your sleep, work, motivation, personal relationships, or feel like you are stuck in a rut? Is it impacting other areas like your sex life, drinking too much, or turning to other unhealthy outlets? To make it worse, you feel all alone because anyone you talk with passes judgment or says that you are wrong for how you feel. How would it feel to find help from someone who is non-judgmental, will truly understand you, and be there for you every step of the way no matter what?
Taking the first step to finding help is scary. Maybe it is because you are afraid something is seriously wrong with you, or that others will think you are crazy. Many 'normal' people, including therapists, go to therapy.
A trusting relationship with a therapist who has been where you are now will help you work through feelings, cope with stress, possibly find solutions to problems, and stop the feeling of being all alone. Let me help you by being there for you every step of the way.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but tailor my approach to the needs of the client. After discussing your presenting problem, treatment goals are discussed together. Most important is the treatment is for YOU and must meet your needs so that you make positive progress and change.
