If you are here you are probably struggling in some way. You are looking for support to find your way to feeling better. It’s not easy to seek help, so good for you for getting this far. You have already begun the journey to making a positive change.
Finding the right fit
Life can become difficult and confusing for all of us. With time we can get stuck in patterns that cause hardship and dysfunction. It can feel really hard to cope and try to change on our own. Connecting with the right support can make all the difference. But when looking for a therapist it is important to find a good fit. You want to feel safe and understood with the therapist you’re working with. You also need to be pushed to make positive change. I’m a straight shooter. I’m not interested in just making people feel better in the moment. I help people understand and break unwanted patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving and make lasting positive change.
Individual Work
If you are feeling lost, stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, unfulfilled or in conflict, counseling can help. Counseling can help you gain clarity and new perspectives. You can better understand yourself and your life. It helps build healthy coping mechanisms and ultimately leads to becoming happier and healthier. Counseling can help you understand what’s not working for you and create achievable goals to change for the better.
Couples and Relationships
I urge any couple struggling in their relationship to give couples counseling a try. In couples counseling, partners can learn to understand, recognize, and interrupt the unhealthy and frustrating patterns they feel trapped in. They gain the tools to create a healthier, happier relationship. Relationships need our attention and good relational skills to thrive. But often our relationships end up on the back burner. It is not that the people we love are not important to us. Work and other responsibilities often feel more urgent in the day to day. But over time relationships suffer if we don’t focus on them. Humans are wired to crave and seek secure connections with each other. When our connections with important people in our lives don’t feel secure we suffer. Unfortunately, most of us reach adulthood without learning the simple but effective relational skills that support healthy relationships. But it is never too late. These things can be learned anytime in our lives if we are willing to make it a priority.
I always offer a brief free phone consult. This gives you an opportunity to get a feel for what it is like to work with me. Together, we can decide if it’s a good fit.
Give me a call or send a email to set up a time to talk.
I look forward to meeting you.
