Accepting new clients. I work with individuals who are struggling with their daily function due to their mental health. This may look like difficulty with motivation, feeling overwhelmed, fatigue, intrusive thoughts, decreased focus, disorganization, and/or trouble sleeping. In therapy, my clients learn to use healthy coping skills and challenge unhelpful thoughts to engage in meaningful activities and relationships. They feel more fulfilled, more in control of their daily life and regain their sense of self.

You are out for help and you need someone who uses effective, person-centered and evidence-based strategies to address the issue you are having.
