Individual Therapy

I’m at a loss. I don’t know how to get unstuck. I tell myself this should be simple and easy but it’s not.
 
I feel awkward with new people. I fear you will judge me. I need to know this is safe.
 
I want someone to talk to–someone who is not a family member or one of my well-meaning friends.
 

If only I had hope.

 My motivation has sunk so low. It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning. And just impossible to get myself to exercise.
 
Worry? I’ve done it all my life and I don’t know how to stop.
 
I’ve had big losses. I just miss them so much. Can I tell you about them? Is my grief normal?
 

it’s normal to feel this way

I struggle with self acceptance. It’s just hard to look in the mirror and say, ‘I love you.’
 
I feel lonely and just by myself in this world. I want real connection and satisfying relationships. I want to come home to myself and like what I find when I look inward.
 
I’m afraid I will keep having panic attacks. They’re just so debilitating.
 

Therapy is healing

There’s really so much we can work on together in therapy; there’s a lot we can explore.
 
The goal is for your life to improve. Truly there are many ways to wellness (about as many ways as there are issues to address).
 
My approach is compassionate. I want to affirm in you your wisdom and resilience.
 
Compassion is mature, kind and playful.
 
And it brings renewal, inner peace and strength.
In therapy, you know you’re not alone. I am alongside you ready to hear the worst and to be a witness to your pain and able to accompany you on a path of growth and a way to access your inner joy.
 
Now is a good time to take the first step, even if you’re shy. I will welcome you warmly.
 
So, call now.
