Do you find it difficult to control your worry and anxiety or do you find that you are worried all the time? Do you experience thoughts that you find are difficult to control? Are you often overwhelmed by intense emotions and feel like you’re on a roller coaster? Do you find yourself feeling depressed and having a hard time enjoying the things that you once enjoyed? You are not alone and therapy can help.
I utilize a person-centered, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive and empathic approach to therapy. As your therapist, I will focus on your strengths and help you achieve greater insight. I can assist you by increasing your tolerance of negative emotions, help you stay grounded in the here and now and move toward self-acceptance.
I believe that the therapeutic process can promote positive changes and growth and I look forward to accompanying you on your journey toward self-discovery, recovery and overall wellness. Contact me today to complete a brief consultation and schedule an appointment.
