Teletherapy for Virginia

Adolescence is a transitional period where teens navigate biological and cognitive changes, independence and relationships with peers, parents and other authority figures. This can lead to behavioural issues, mood changes and cognitive challenges that cause anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, ASD and more. We'll explore the experiences, patterns and relationships that either cause, maintain or worsen these patterns and collaboratively identify appropriate strategies to alleviate or eliminate these difficulties.

When a person realizes that self awareness is the only long term solution, they will seek only to understand themselves. No longer do they seek to blame the outside world for their thoughts or feelings. My ideal client is one who seeks to do the work to evolve . Together we start the journey to locate the "inner" barriers that may be holding you back. We do the work to gain control of your thoughts and feelings that are keeping you feeling "stuck". Lasting relief comes from learning techniques which are less about problem-solving and more about letting-go of old beliefs and habits. Know thyself and the whole world changes!

I believe in the human spirit and our capacity to make positive changes in all aspects of our lives, even in the face of adversity. By exploring our thought patterns, we can better identify feelings that affect our actions on a daily basis. We can then make effective changes that improve the quality of our lives, decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression and providing us with a more peaceful and joyful life. I also believe in the benefit of human interaction with other loving creatures; you will meet my little Yorkie-Poo therapy partner, Mojo, when you come to visit me. He loves children and adults.

Welcome and congratulations on taking a step towards change! Life is a journey that involves moving through stages of self-awareness, knowledge, clarity, and wisdom. I believe everyone has the strength to travel this journey, but sometimes we need some assistance along the way. When we begin therapy, we enter onto the path that allows us to explore and reconnect with all parts of ourselves to achieve wholeness.

Barriers they may be facing include difficulties in managing emotions, relationship problems, or adapting to life transitions, requiring a compassionate space to process their experiences and a supportive guide to help them develop coping strategies. Goals would include healing from past traumas, discovering and building on their inherent strengths, fostering resilience, and pursuing personal growth. Ultimately, to find fulfillment and joy in themselves.

The first step always seems the toughest when it comes to deciding to seek help for one's problems that are impacting their life.
