Has the idea of finding the right therapist for you felt overwhelming and lead you to to avoid the process? Have you had a negative experience with a therapist or the mental health system and are anxious about starting over or having to re-tell your story? Do you feel stuck and are tired of old patterns in your life that no longer serve you? I feel you! So many of my clients have had negative experiences with a therapist or the mental health system and it is a major obstacle to overcome your fear or resistance to get the support and help that you want or need. Finding a good fit is a huge obstacle and is essential for therapy!
I want you to walk into my office and feel your nervous system relax. This is the only way that therapy “works”. It has to start with feeling safe, relaxed and free to say the hard things. Healing can only start when we feel safe and can turn our attention inwards to what is waiting for us to feel and see. I can create the space to do this together.
The relationship between the therapist and client is the most important factor for successful therapy. It is hard to navigate the changing landscape of therapeutic modalities and know what is right for you. I can help guide you in this process to know what might be right for you. My passion is to help clients find healing not simply reduce their symptoms.
