Therapeutic Process
You’re searching for something, or someone to connect with, right? That’s why you’re here. Finding a therapist can be a very difficult task, especially if you are not feeling your best. You have found the courage to take the first and second steps, which is saying “I need some help and I need to find a therapist.” You are the expert on you, so you know the choices you have made and the consequences, good and bad, that come along with them. Fixating and ruminating on those choices and consequences can lead you to use unhealthy coping mechanisms, leading to you feeling trapped by old habits. Let’s do something about that. Let’s get you unstuck from the unhealthy habits you are accustomed to. I work with clients who see the patterns they have created and know there is a better way to live. You know change leads to growth, and growth leads to a better life.
