Making the decision to seek counseling can be a tough one for many. Therapy is a process where you can learn, grow, and heal in ways you did not expect. Do you feel you struggle to be your true authentic self in the spaces that you occupy? Finding it hard to create and maintain boundaries with those closest to you? Maybe your own thoughts and feelings of stress and anxiety are hindering you from reaching what you feel is your full potential? My goal, as your therapist, is to help guide you through this process of self-discovery and healing.

Sometimes you find yourself staring out the window wondering if you will always feel this way. Life circumstances have left you feeling as if you and your life is a mess, and nothing is what you imagined it would be. You had this idea that once you began to accomplish your goals or dreams, then you would feel like you had reached the mountaintop. Instead, feelings of self-doubt, insecurity, unhappiness, unfulfilled, unauthentic, unfocused, and defeated have been your constant companion. You tell yourself, “There has to be a way to for me to live life without feeling paralyzed by anxiety, self-sabotage, and perfectionism”.

There is a time in all our lives when it feels that nobody understands, somebody fails to listen, and we feel we have to figure it out by ourselves and that doesn't work either. Finding yourself in that desperate place is an appropriate time to tell your story to a therapist who desires to listen and help you understand where you've been and come along side you to assist you in knowing where you want to go. Courageously step toward the therapy process and embrace the hope that reminds you that you don't have to stay stuck or remain in the dark.
