Why Therapy?

unwanted or uncontrolled feelings

Are you tired or worn out from dealing with anxiety, stress, other unwanted feelings?  Most people will begin therapy because they want to feel better, to get rid of those unwanted feelings. This is a GREAT goal to have, and therapy is a great place to accomplish this. People often feel better just by starting therapy- knowing they are doing something and have someone to help can create some immediate relief. 

growth and Insight

Taking the first step to begin therapy can be scary, but once you have a partner to support you in your journey, you will be so glad that you took that step.  While exploring the immediate reasons you decided to come to therapy, we will often uncover very important connections and thoughts that have been there a long time, and insight and change will begin.  Working together on the immediate goal often leads to a deeper understanding of why you are struggling, which then leads to change.

coping and self care

Through exploration in a supportive and helping environment, you will develop new techniques to lesson unwanted feelings, feel more empowered, and be able to manage feelings and difficulties on your own.  Through every step, you will have me to support and guide you. I am already feeling excited for you because in continuing to read, you are taking steps to feeling better...
