I would bet something has tipped the balance for you from managing your pain, coping with your stresses to "I can’t do this alone.” It’s a scary place to be in, and it says a lot about your character and courage that you’re willing to reach out. My clients have reached that point in a number of issues. Religious trauma and anxiety are two of the biggies. But also depression, LGBTQ issues, and self-esteem factor big among my clients too.
I’m in my late 40s, and I’ve scrolled through lists of therapists thinking, “there’s no way I’m going to see a therapist younger than me.” No shade on younger therapists, but I want you to know that I have a lot of lived experience that I bring to the table, and a whole lot of water under the bridge that gives me tons of empathy for the struggles you bring.
If we work together, developing self-compassion, ways to soothe your nervous system, and ways to re-access your capacity to be there for yourself are probably going to figure heavily into our work. I can’t wait to meet you!
