“Pain is important: how we evade it, how we succumb to it, how we deal with it, how we transcend it.” ― Audre Lorde. During certain life stages or circumstances, it can be difficult to find the right support or feel understood. These experiences or transitions can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms, and sometimes you just need a compassionate ear or fresh perspective. Whether you have experienced a loss, become a first-time parent, or other significant life transition, therapy can be a useful tool to gain coping skills, learn about yourself, and develop new insight in many areas of your life.

Life is “life-ing.” Things are changing and you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and irritable. Now it’s impacting your relationships, your job, your health, and how you feel towards yourself. You’re feeling unsure if this is “bad enough” to talk to someone. If this is you, I’m so glad you’re here and the answer is, “Yes, this is absolutely something to bring to therapy!” Even if they are good ones, changes can sometimes be more than we have bargained for and create a lot of stress and anxiety. Learning skills to cope and connect with yourself and others can help you grow through life challenges.
