Is your child stressful? Do they get anxious more than their friends? Is your child or teen down & unmotivated?

People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes, the issues they are struggling with start out minor and they want help before the issues become too difficult. On other occasions, the problems have become unmanageable and dealing with them alone becomes too daunting. Some of those personal issues include anxiety, depression, stress at home, school and/or work, emotional dysregulation, among others. Therapy can help get a handle on any of those issues to help people carry on with every day living in a more productive fashion.

How long has it been since you truly felt like yourself? Like anxiety didn’t influence everything that you say or do? Since you didn’t feel chronically exhausted from constantly worrying about everyone else? You may have intrusive thoughts, have always considered yourself a perfectionist (even to a fault) or a people pleaser, spend hours on WebMD, Google, or worrying that your child will get hurt, or avoid more and more until your world feels small and scary. The things that once brought you joy and fulfillment have vanished from most of your waking hours until you don't even recognize yourself or your life anymore.

Getting to this point takes a lot of courage. It can be a LOT to try to find the therapist that is right for you. I get it - I’ve been in that seat, too. It's scary to be vulnerable and try something new. But it’s also a lot to keep living and feeling the way you are right now. So let’s make some adjustments and start you on your way to feeling and living better. Spoiler alert: no therapist has all the answers. Instead, let's find the answers together. Therapy is exactly that - working together. I'm here to guide you along your path and help you in the direction that you want, not tell you where to go.

You’re at your limit. No, you’re PAST your limit. You’re running on empty. You feel like you’re totally just breaking. You don't really have time for therapy, but things just aren't getting better. Maybe no one seems to understand how you feel. Things are really REALLY freaking hard right now. But they don’t have to stay that way any longer. Is therapy hard? YUP, for sure. But not as hard as continuing to live with the way things are now. You’re been suffering for too long. You deserve to heal and be well. You deserve to leave this behind you and enjoy your life. You deserve to feel like YOU.

It's during these moments that the guidance of a skilled psychological professional can become invaluable.
