What it’s like to work with me
I want you to feel like you can sit down, take a breath, and talk. You don’t need to have everything sorted out before you get here. You can come in knowing exactly what you want to talk about, or you can start with, “I don’t even know where to begin.”
I’ll listen, ask questions, and share my thoughts. Sometimes I’ll gently challenge you or point out something you might not have noticed. We may talk about something that happened this week or spend time figuring out why you keep finding yourself in the same situation.
Getting to know someone takes time. I don’t expect you to walk in and immediately feel comfortable telling me everything. We’ll start with what you’re ready to talk about.
What I Can Help With
You don’t have to have a diagnosis or a name for what you’re feeling. Maybe you just know you’d like someone to talk to.
Some examples of the things people come to me with include:
○ Missing someone and living with grief
○ Overthinking and worrying
○ Feeling overwhelmed or like nothing you do is enough
○ Getting irritated or angry and not understanding why
○ Things that happened in the past that still bother you
○ Relationship struggles and family concerns
○ Having a hard time saying no or worrying about letting people down
○ Changes in life and wondering what comes next
○ Parenting worries
○ A child who’s struggling with feelings or behavior
○ I also really enjoy working with other therapists. When you spend your days being there for other people, it’s nice to have time when someone is there for you. You can talk about work, your personal life, or whatever you need to bring in that day.
