Do you live with a secret belief that you are unlikeable or unlovable? Are you normally able to keep it out of your mind so you feel OK, but then something happens in a friendship or relationship that brings the painful feelings back into focus? Part of you thinks that maybe if you talked with someone you could feel differently, but part of you just hopes it will pass so you don't have to think about it again. I want you to know that you are not the only one who has these beliefs and that they can change. "The only way out is through" - Robert Frost
I currently see people for telehealth appointment only. I work with clients that have a variety of issues, but I specialize in anxiety and trauma. I endeavor to provide a safe, genuine, & non-judgmental space. The process is collaborative, and my client's thoughts and feelings are integral to the process.
The therapeutic relationship is an important factor in healing. I like to talk with potential clients on the phone. During the phone call we can decide if I am a good fit your needs. You can call or email me to set up a time to talk. Congratulations on taking this courageous step! I look forward to hearing from you!
