When faced with relationships, family, employment, or personal emotional difficulties, it is hard to know who to trust. Family, friends, and co-workers might have well intended advice, but it is not what you really needed to feel better. You need a safe place to heal from past trauma, ongoing mental illness with someone who truly listens and is knowledgeable. The idea of therapy can be scary for some, but with the right provider, you can feel more confident, self-compassionate, and able to cope with those challenges in life.
As a mental health professional, I can assist you in reaching your treatment goals, healing from the past, and moving forward as your best possible self. Working with children, adults, individuals, couples and families to understand mental health issues through filial therapy, family counseling, or individual counseling as partners in this journey.
Whether you are emotionally stuck, struggling to be your best self, having family conflict, live in an emotionally chaotic environment, or have a child who is struggling, its hard to reach for help. Mental Health therapy is a great place to work on a variety of strong feelings, and work out the interpersonal struggles you may have.
