Why should you go for therapy?
There are times in life’s journey when we feel overwhelmed by situations and events, and navigation appears difficult, and we feel stuck. Those are the times we need a professional to help us make meaning of those raging thoughts and emotions.
So, if Worry, Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Anger Issues, Trauma, poor boundaries, Attachment Injuries, or relationship issues are taking over your life or chipping away at your ability to cope, I can help.
I can work with you to better understand your emotions/feelings, reduce emotional reactivity, overcome overthinking/spiraling thoughts, break negative multigenerational cycles, overcome social anxiety, overcome poor boundaries, break the hold of past trauma on your life and build confidence and resilience.
If you are struggling in your marriage/relationship, I can work with you to reduce the frequency of the fights in your relationship, rekindle romance and intimacy, rebuild friendship, foster respect, affection, and closeness, manage conflict constructively, gain skills to address perpetual and solvable problems, and most importantly, maintain gains long term. So, if you are worried that your relationship has reached a point of no return, you do not have to do it alone. I am here to help support you as you write the next chapter of your life.
