Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.
You didn't cause all of your problems, but you have to solve them anyway. I can help you deal with life without harming yourself, using substances, or doing whatever you do to try to get out of pain. I can help you learn to cope with life and emotions without being overwhelmed by them.
I am a clinical psychologist who is passionate about providing treatment that works. I get you. What you're feeling makes sense. And I want to help you. If you're ready to build a life worth living, please reach out to me.
