No matter what we call psychotherapy, talk therapy, or counseling, the fact is that it can benefit people struggling with emotional difficulties, life challenges, and mental health concerns. Maybe anxiety is keeping you up at night, making it difficult to perform at work or feel uncomfortable in social settings. Perhaps you’re struggling in your relationships, finding it hard to communicate, feel close, or find someone who really understands you.

Therapy can help improve symptoms of many mental health conditions. You will learn skills to address symptoms on your own. These skills last after therapy ends, and symptoms may continue to improve. Therapy can help you learn about what you’re feeling, why you might be feeling it, and how to cope. These sessions can lead to improvement in all areas of life. If you feel like something is holding you back from living life as you envision it, therapy can help you address this. When you aren’t sure what’s keeping you from making change, therapy can help you discover the answer.

The decision to embark on the journey of psychotherapy is a courageous one. Sometimes, simply finding the hope that change is possible can feel nearly impossible but, I believe that change is possible for all of us, when we are ready to take healthy risks. If you have come to a place in your life where the pain of remaining stuck is more painful than the effort it takes to heal, I believe I can help you.
