If anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief are troubling you, there is hope. Many of my client are professionals, experiencing difficulty in one or more of their roles. Clients may have had high stress experiences or difficult childhoods. Therapy can help you find your voice, identify your strengths and resources, and learn better coping skills. Clients may want to improve their relationships with others or learn to live with less self-blame. Healing is possible with encouragement, support, compassion, and understanding in a nonjudgmental counseling relationship. Life's transitions and changes can be stressful. Therapy can help.
Learning better ways of coping can improve your life. Perfectionism, people pleasing, self criticism are destructive. Therapy can help if you have experienced family of origin issues such as mental illness, addiction, codependency, neglect, or if a parent had narcissistic traits. Recognizing your inherent worth as a human being can improve your self-talk.
Reaching out for help is not easy and I appreciate the difficulty in doing so. When we compare ourselves to others, we rarely compare ourselves to those we think are doing worse than we are. Social comparison damages our self-esteem. Contact me to schedule a free 10 to 15 minute phone consultation to see whether I am a good it for the work you want to do.

Frequently, symptoms developed as a strategy to survive the circumstances you were in. With therapy you can gain awareness of your self-talk that may be worsening your pain. The goal is to increase your ability to recognize and self-soothe the distressing emotions affecting you. Identifying and utilizing your existing resources is crucial.

I use trauma informed therapy to help and support clients. Trauma often affects memory. Recalling the specifics of trauma is not necessary for healing. Helping clients have curiosity about feelings, without judging themselves is helpful. I provide education on a client's unique problems and issues to further their understanding. Clients may blame themselves for what happened to them.
