Living a life with ever-present anxiety, or challenges with grief and loss, and/or depression might leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. You probably know deep down that you should explore those feelings and develop coping strategies to manage difficult emotions; but where to begin? Plus, thinking about that can invite more stress and other emotional discomfort. You may also desire feeling more in control of your thoughts and feelings, finding a sense of purpose, and reconnecting with joy and meaning in life. You want a brighter future. You want to get through this.
In order for the therapy to be effective, I believe that I need to meet you where you're emotionally at and be beside you along the journey. Whether it's through discussion, education, music, video games, or other creative mediums, we can explore these issues that are undermining your quality of life in a way that's effective for you.
It can be daunting to take that first step in seeking support. Especially if therapy is new to you. As a certified grief informed professional I offer a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your feelings and find the support you need in order to heal and grow. I invite you to reach out, and let's see if I can help with your journey.
