You might seem like someone who is strong, capable and has it together, but on the inside, you’re hurting. You never thought life would be this hard.

Especially during these troubled times, keeping up with life’s daily tasks and demands is challenging. Feeling stuck and overwhelmed is preventing you from moving forward and living the life you were hoping for.

Challenges you may be facing include:

• Stress and anxiety
• Extreme fatigue and lack of energy and motivation
• Sadness and feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness
• Grieving a loss, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or one of the many other kinds of losses we might experience
• Chronic pain or health issues
• Problems with letting go of the past

You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy can help.

Making the decision to begin therapy is a healthy first step toward making positive changes in your life . . .

I see therapy as a journey, and your journey will be unique. It will require work on your part and may not follow a straight path. There may be hills to climb, and the terrain will be rocky and uneven at times – this is normal. You may slip back a few steps before moving forward again, but you will also discover that it was those “backward” steps that led to insights and taught you important life lessons . . . and perhaps even gave you the strength to move ahead again and continue on your journey toward reaching your goals.

I would welcome the chance to accompany you on your journey toward long-lasting, healthy change. My most important goal as I work with you will be to create a safe, warm, and welcoming space so that you can begin moving forward.

I view therapy as collaborative. I bring knowledge about counseling and human behavior to our work, but you are the expert on your life, and you will be the one to decide where your therapeutic journey takes you.

During your first few sessions, we will talk about your goals and what you would like to gain from therapy. Since each person is unique, I will draw from various evidence-based practices in my work with you, but most importantly, I will tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals.

As we work together, your goals may include:

• Learning new skills to cope with stress and change
• Coming to terms with past losses
• Healing from trauma
• Improving your mood
• Learning to be compassionate toward yourself
• Whatever other goals you identify

Once people complete therapy, they often have a better understanding of their emotions, notice improved self-esteem, have a greater sense of clarity about life goals, and have the skills and tools they need to grow and thrive – not only now but in the years ahead.
