The decision to seek help for a mental health issue does not always come naturally. Many people endure needless suffering for months or years even, rather than seek help. The reasons why vary. Some are skeptical about the effectiveness of mental health therapy or concerned about the need for medication. Whatever the reason for not seeking help, it is absolutely crucial that you give yourself a break. Remaining in denial, making excuses, or judging yourself harshly probably isn’t the way you would handle a physical health problem.

Mental health concerns are increasing rapidly in the past few years due to social media, the pandemic and recent tragedies. It should no longer be stigmatized but rather talked about openly so that individuals understand that they are not alone and that symptoms can improve. I have years of experience assessing and treating individuals with mental illness throughout their lifespan. I believe that at the core of any great mental health service should be trust and good rapport. When someone truly feels comfortable, they are better able to access therapeutic skills that will improve their symptoms.

Please note that I am not taking new patients at this time. Making the decision to get help can be difficult. My hope for you is that you can discover your own capacity to heal and grow. Change is possible, and therapy can be a powerful tool in facilitating this change. Every patient is unique, and each person has developed a strategy to handle the problems in their life. Many of these work well, while others may no longer be useful. New skills and perspectives may be needed to move forward. I encourage my clients to use therapy as a way to discover and build on their existing strengths.
