Taking the first step to reach out and seek professional therapy services can be difficult and intimidating. Working through trauma, feelings of self doubt and worthlessness, negative self talk, navigating family and other interpersonal relationships, and managing your emotional state is often necessary in moving forward on a path of happiness and personal wellness. Therapy can be beneficial in many different ways in helping you take control of your life and learn to manage your emotional state in the healthiest way possible for you. Having the opportunity to share in your journey and work with you is a privilege that I value.
