You might not be happy with the way things have turned out, causing self-criticism. Or maybe you feel stuck because you can't see the possibility of a better future. In difficult times, it can be helpful to understand what you've been thru, and the pressures you're under. Simply feeling human again, can open up more possibilities.
I practice Existential, Solution Focused, and Humanistic Therapy. Orientations that acknowledge life is difficult, and we don't always have the answers. But we can know ourselves. Know what values we hold to be important, or interests that haven't been explored, or what's worked before. Things that tend to free us from being struck.
Finding someone you can feel comfortable talking to, can be it's own challenge. It can also be a source of relief when successful. I have over two decades of experience supporting people through trauma, ADHD, relationships, and most forms of human suffering. I invite you to reach out. I'm available for free consultations.

I mainly utilize Solution Focused, Client Centered, and Existential Therapy. What they all have in common is the understanding that no one is more qualified to lead your life than you. However people might need some support in realizing there possibilities, or understanding and acceptance thru the dark times.
