Message to clients

Congratulations, you have taken the first step in cutting through the chaos of pandemic life by seeking support, and consciously or not, have expressed hope that things can get better. As your therapist, I will accompany you through the work ahead, understanding that what you’re doing is hard. I have helped many people move from simply surviving to living a fulfilling and authentic life, one which reflects their values.

Our work together will begin with what has brought you to seek help today. Many patients are experiencing stress in the very areas (work, home, school) which had in the past been their bedrocks of stability, all upended by COVID. As a result, you may be experiencing anxiety, depression or panic attacks for the very first time. We will sift through the challenges in front of you and establish goals for recovery. Having clear goals will help us in the work ahead and also give you a way to measure and appreciate your progress along the way. Our work may include journaling to aid in reflection, or mindfulness exercises to help you ground yourself during times of stress.

If you’re ready to begin, I welcome you to a safe, judgement-free zone and an empathetic ear to listen and guide you through the tangle of emotions, decisions and reflections which may feel overwhelming today. You're on the way to feeling better, and you don't have to take the journey alone.
