Therapist Statement:
Sometimes it can seem like just waking up takes as much effort as a full work day. Sometimes everything seems to be falling apart even though you have tried to keep it up for so long. I know these feelings well and want to help you work through them as your partner and guide. Choosing to get help with your struggles is a brave and personal thing that can be as scary as it is rewarding. It can be hard to find the right person to trust with your inner struggles. That’s why I chose to do this work. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a life they are proud of. Happiness is not impossible, you are worthy of love and belonging, and you do have what it takes to reach your goals, no matter how far off they seem.

If you decide to work with me, I will challenge you to see things differently and help you make healthy changes for yourself. I am so lucky to be able to share these moments with the people I work with. I hope to share with you too.
