It has been a challenging two years. COVID came into our lives and changed the way we lived and worked. Many of us spent possibly a year or two in partial isolation, seeing only our closes friends and family members. Now, it is 2024 and we are wanting to get our old style lives back, but this transition has been difficult to accomplish. Anxiety, both social and life skill focused, along with depression, loss of self confidence or self esteem and not knowing where to begin. Many of us have anger over loss time, along with feelings or irritation at ourselves and others about how to go about putting the peices together which was once our true idenitity. Now, as you look in the mirroe, you want to begin to be the brave person you once were. You want to be social, travel and feel the joy again that life used to offer. My work and yours also, is to help you find your confidence to begin your post COVID life. COVID amy be here to stay, but as long as all the necessary precautions are taken, I understand two years is time enough to lose.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be me asking you some questions. I would like to know why you called, and what are your goals for entering a therapeutic relationship
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize narrative and psychodynamic therapy quite often. I believe every person has a story to tell that they have either been stuffing deep inside or feeling depression from carrying these feelings around. I want to listen to and really hear your story and help you define an ending that will give you a mre positive life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy working with people who are looking at life changes or transitions. These changes can cause enxiety foremost. There are two ways of looking at anxiety: one is with fear, the other is excitement. With belief in yourself, excitement is the positive side of change.
