Wondering how to choose the right therapist for you?
You can't truly know until you have a chance to really talk. That is why I offer a 30-minute, initial consultation, at no charge and with no obligation.
Here are some important questions that an initial consultation can help you answer:
- Did you have an opportunity to talk about what is going on in you life?
- Did you explore what you would like to see change, and what that would mean to you?
- Did you feel heard and understood?
- Did you feel connection on an emotional level?
- Did you get a sense of how you would work together to make life better for you?
- Did you walk away with a sense of hope and empowerment?
I invite you to take the first step.
Call and request an initial video consultation. See if you find some answers. There is nothing to lose.
Relationships
Have you have recently experienced a breakup of a close relationship? Are you experiencing anxiety, sleeplessness, fatigue, inability to concentrate, or unpredictable crying spells? Do you feel worthless and lost? Anger? Frustration?
In your current relationship, has conflict taken the place of communication? Trust broken? Do you feel ignored, taken for granted, or confused? You may be wondering if you can ever have an emotional connection and commitment you yearn for.
Parent Counseling
Are you struggling with the new challenges triggered by COVID 19? Does your child's behavior sometimes make you want to scream? Is it an exhausting battle to get your child to do what he's told? Does your child play one parent against the other?
Are you so exhausted by the end of the day, you just can't cope with it all? Has your teenager tuned you out? Does he/she resist, rebel, or refuse? Perhaps it has become hard to be the parent you want to be.
Life Counseling
Have you made everyone else's needs more important than your own? Does it seem that no matter what you do, it's not good enough? Do you wake up tired? Does life demand loudly, while your own voice becomes a whisper? Perhaps you have lost something important in your life.
Sometimes what used to work, just doesn't work anymore. Something we are thinking or doing might be blocking us from attaining what we truly want.
