Your mind has been pushing you around with negative, anxious thoughts. You have tried to "be more positive" but you still find yourself getting stuck in cycles of rumination and worry. You are having problems in your relationships and some days feel like a ride on an emotional rollercoaster. You know something needs to change but you aren't sure what. You're feeling stuck.
In our first session, we will collaborate to assess scope of your current struggles. We will look at how this relates to your past and how you want your future to be different. We may write on a white board and brainstorm ways to disrupt patterns. If you are willing to take action steps between sessions, you will get the most out of therapy.
My clinical demeanor is professional and relaxed. I have a good sense of humor and am comfortable with cursing. I am fortunate to help people alleviate anxiety, depression, get unstuck and live with more freedom and purpose. Visit my website to learn more about my approach or set up a free consultation call.
