Relationship Issues Therapists in 01570

"The true warrior accepts what he (she) is in ultimate humility, not as grounds for regret, but as a living challenge" - Carlos Casteneda. Treatment issues require an empathic listener. I am most effective in connecting with clients. I see a therapist's role as supporting clients in their grief and helping them identify realistic expectations of self /others in a non-judgemental and affirming atmosphere. My undergraduate degree was Anthropology, helping me at cross cultural problem solving. Employment in Community Mental Health and inpatient hospital care settings I have worked with medical/psychiatric difficulties:

Painful emotions and situations are part of our experience as humans. At times we can feel like our emotions, thoughts, or life circumstances are in control of us rather than the other way around. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or confidence issues, avoidance, or perfectionism, I'm here to help. My style is collaborative, genuine, and focused on helping you to develop a life that feels more meaningful and rewarding. Together, we will work to understand and overcome the challenges and roadblocks in life that are causing you to suffer so you can go on to build a richer, fuller life for yourself.

Therapy is about you, it can help you learn to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations in new and satisfying ways. When you are feeling sad or anxious, having difficulty with relationships and important life choices, psychotherapy may be helpful by exploring strategies for managing anxiety or depression, reducing relationship tensions or couples conflicts, and coping skills for daily stress.The therapeutic relationship creates a unique safe space, I view it as a collaboration an environment where we can work together in an environment of mutual trust.

There comes a time in your life when you decide that you want something different. It may be a change in behavior, your way of thinking, or how to approach situations or others. I am here to be your impetus for change. Every human being has the power for greatness if they choose to embrace it. My goal is to help you evoke a lighter heart, perhaps fix what's broken, tackle what weighs you down, gain a different perspective, and unlock the greatest version of yourself.

Being acknowledged, heard, and validated are important factors in feeling understood. Daily life situations can produce many wonderful things. But life is also challenging and difficult with many heartaches and uncertainties along the way. No matter what obstacles are presented in the journey of life, I believe having the appropriate support can provide the spark needed to break through barriers to move forward in finding happiness and peace in life. My goal for every individual I work with is to strengthen resiliency and self-acceptance.

If you are currently experiencing life transitions, feeling overwhelmed by past or present circumstances, or simply seeking a more fulfilling way of living, I may be the therapist you are looking for.

Seeking therapy for the first time is one of the hardest things when so many of us are already overwhelmed with busy schedules and are unfamiliar with the process. We often ask ourselves do I have time for one more appointment? Our mental health is just as important to our physical counterpart to remain healthy!
