They mean well, but sometimes parents and friends just don’t understand.
Do you ever feel that there is no one in your life that understands what you are going through, or don’t want your business spread around? Maybe you’ve struggled for awhile, or things have gotten hard to manage recently. Reaching out to take the first step is often the hardest. Friends and family can be helpful, but the safety and trust of a good therapeutic relationship is where healing can happen.
In therapy, I offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can better understand what’s driving your feelings and behavior and learn practical tools to manage it. My approach is focused on real-life strategies that actually work.
For example I can help you
process friend drama, or make friends
recover from perfectionism
stop overthinking
feel more comfortable in social settings
increase confidence and self-esteem
improve family relationships
increase motivation
experience joy and satisfaction
make thoughtful decisions
look at your relationship with drugs or alcohol
stop people-pleasing
manage intrusive thoughts
What you say to me stays with me.
Trust and understanding is so important to a good therapeutic relationship. Thoughts, or feelings you may not have ever thought safe talking about can be shared within the therapy room and will be received with compassion and non-judgment. This is a unique benefit to the confidential therapeutic process.*
*There are exceptions to confidentiality: life-threating issues, abuse, and neglect. Please ask me more about this if you have questions.
