Seeking therapy is one of the bravest things you can do. Accepting that you need help in resolving your struggles does not mean there is something "wrong" with you, but rather that you LOVE yourself enough to do what you need to do to get better. I look forward to developing a strong and safe relationship between us as I join you on your journey toward healing. I do this by working to understand you, your concerns, and your background, particularly those factors that may have shape who you are and may have contributed to your current problems.
I believe struggles like depression and anxiety often stem from relationship concerns or identity conflict. Therefore, I seek to understand your relationships (past/present), your multiple identities (ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, etc.), and how these might be interacting with other factors to result in your struggles.
I also believe problems can stem from alcohol/drug use. Therefore, I try to understand what led to your problematic use of these substances. I do not require abstinence, but work with you to explore how substances affect your life and to make decisions about limits you want to set.
