Want to learn how you can stop feeling so anxious or depressed, and feel more joy and less stress? Maybe you’ve had symptoms of anxiety, or panic attacks that seem to come from nowhere. Sleep problems. Losing motivation and focus. Obsessive thinking. Many people first try to get help by going to the doctor for medication. Others use alcohol or marijuana to cope. These may provide some relief, but they might not address the underlying issues. Or perhaps you are looking for help with a relationship issue. Are you experiencing an escalation of conflict, or feeling disconnected and drifting apart, or too focused on work or the kids?
Whether the source of your distress is in the present or the past, I can help. I will not ask, "What is wrong with you?" I will ask, "What is hard about this?" And we will take a journey together, trying new behaviors and ways of thinking, and seeing what that feels like, gradually shifting problematic patterns until you are happy with your life again.
I invite you to contact me for a free consultation so that I can answer any questions you might have, and allow you to meet me and get a sense of how it might feel to work together.
