How can I help? Are you...
There are many reasons why people seek counseling and psychotherapy. At times each of us in our lives may be confronted with obstacles which can feel overwhelming. Often we look outside ourselves for answers or we tend to feel inadequate. We continue with self defeating thoughts and behaviors which increase our stress and feelings of being stuck. We want to enjoy life more but we are unable.
Receiving help is not a sign of weakness; but rather a sign of strength. It is a proactive approach to personal growth. We all have areas where we can improve and that reaching out for assistance is a powerful step towards skill enhancement and self-discovery. Counseling can often provide relief from both immediate and long standing challenges that are a barrier to living a happier and more fulfilling life.
The first phone call when looking for support can be difficult to make - it is courageous to take that step. I look forward to the opportunity to explore if I am the right fit for you. It is important that you feel comfortable with your choice, as this is your journey.
