Do you often find yourself feeling indecisive about opportunities in your life? Or do you sometimes feel like there are no opportunities at all? Do you feel a lack of connection with those around you even though you love them? Do you find yourself awake at night and nervous for no reason in particular? If so, you could be dealing depression or anxiety and just need help coping with the events in your life. If this sounds like you, you may benefit from working with a counselor. I specialize in helping clients learn how to reframe their negative thought patterns using a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach.
CBT allows you to see differing perspectives than the one being played on a loop by the critic in your mind. I am a firm believer that the way we speak to ourselves affects our mood and largely determines our life experiences. By reframing our negative patterns, we can begin to see the possibility for a better life and we can finally begin to heal.
Making change is hard; if it wasn't, everyone would do it. But making change is possible even probable especially if you have the courage to take the first and hardest step: asking for help. I'll show you how to build resilience, become aware of your innate strengths and learn how to work through challenges without giving up. You can do this. I can help.
