Life is difficult, challenging, and even frustrating at times. Days can feel like weeks or pass so quickly that we may forget what we have had for breakfast. We forget to take time for ourselves; we can start to lose sight of our dreams, hopes, and futures. We stop smiling and begin lacking any fun in our lives and wonder what our purpose is. We become self-critical, depressed, anxious, and even hopeless, and our lives can change to where we feel better, vibrant, and energized for a new day.

Engaging in therapy can be rewarding albiet difficult work! This is why finding the right therapist is vital. Therapy is a collaborative process that grows out of a safe, caring relationship where you can explore your deepest concerns, as you move toward becoming the person you long to be. The process of therapy differs for everyone, as we all have our own needs, desires, and stories. I have deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual and find that people experience healing through increased self-understanding, experiencing safety and openness in therapy, and mobilizing supportive social networks.

Ever been told “I know what you’re feeling”, yet still felt completely misunderstood? What about freedom. Do you have a desire for emotional freedom from your past, from current stressors, or perhaps from a new phase of life? It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed or down from time to time but it doesn’t have to be a permanent feeling.
