Do you ever wonder if you’re anxious because you’re depressed, or are you depressed because you’re anxious? Everywhere you turn, you hear about the importance of self care, but nothing you’ve tried seems to gel into a habit. Besides, how many bath bombs can one person buy before they feel better, right? Humor aside, you don’t have to keep living a life that causes you to suffer. Every human is unique, with unique needs. It is possible to live the life that is right for you.
Therapy is a place to process the things that cause us the most pain, and the process begins at our first meeting. However, the first few sessions tend to be pretty low-key. Remember, although I will ask questions, this is also an opportunity for you to get to know me, and to decide if I am the right provider for you.
I believe that my greatest strength as a provider is in meeting my clients where they are. I accept you however you show up, and believe in you, even on days that you don’t.
Working with individuals experiencing acute mental health episodes showed me that the most effective therapeutic techniques are the ones that work for the client: those are the ones that will bring about sustainable changes and have a lasting positive effect.
