If you are struggling right now, working together with a trained, caring, an objective person can be very helpful. You may not be sure how to choose a therapist you can work with and begin the process of feeling better. That makes sense because it is difficult to open up to a stranger about the challenges in life. You may have tried therapy before, and it did not help, or you did not "click" with the therapist you had chosen. If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone.
I believe that choosing the right therapist who can help you is critical for your long-term improvement and feeling better. It takes courage to share and unless you feel comfortable and safe, it is hard for anyone to open up. I have worked with many different people and cultures and I have understanding and insight into a variety of challenges.
I know it is very hard to open up, and I will help you along when it is difficult. Together, we increase your awareness of how your emotions may be getting the better of you, and work on improving your ability to be in control of them. I look forward to working with you and finding ways for you to make lasting changes to help you live the life that you want.
