Each person is unique, but life can present us moments that are not particular to anyone. For example thoughts like: "I'm scared to be alone", "I'm afraid that something bad could happen", "I can't deal with this situation", "I feel like everybody judges me in a negative way or no one understands me", "I'm a failure", "a disappointment or not worth it!". You may have tried hard to handle these thoughts and feelings on your own but now you feel tired, frustrated and running out of options. It's always difficult to take the first step in requesting the help to get tools that you need to face these life challenges!

Sometimes, life can feel hopeless or overwhelming. Sometimes, we find that the coping tools we have relied on are no longer working to manage the altered reality around us.

With experience living and working in diverse societies, I seek to understand your unique cultural perspectives and values. I use cognitive and behavioral approaches, but I am open to adjusting my techniques.

Change is a part of life, but sometimes, change can cause a great amount of distress, especially when it is sudden and unwelcome. How people cope with change, how they view their situation, and their perceived amount of social support will determine how they will feel emotionally, physically, and mentally. It is not unnatural to be at a loss as to how to cope or where to start. It is during these times that the best thing to do is ask for help.
