What can I expect from therapy?

Engaging a therapist is an important step towards improving your mental health and overall well-being. Therapy can help you work through a range of issues, from anxiety and depression to relationship problems and life transitions. With the support of a skilled therapist, you can gain insight, develop coping skills, and make positive changes in your life.

Improved Mental Health

As a licensed therapist, I am deeply committed to assisting individuals in their pursuit of optimal mental well-being. My practice encompasses a range of issues including depression, trauma, grief, anxiety, substance abuse, mood disorders, relationship problems, and gender-specific concerns. Through therapy, I aim to help identify symptoms, impart skills, provide knowledge, and develop inner resources. These enhance your ability to handle daily challenges. By gaining an understanding of their mental health needs, individuals can embark on a more fulfilling, joyful journey.

Enhanced Relationships

Therapy can enhance communication, diffuse conflict, and strengthen damaged connections in your most important relationships. By compassionately exploring underlying issues that may be negatively impacting your relationships – such as trust issues, attachment wounds, ineffective communication styles, past trauma, or unhealthy relational patterns – you can cultivate healthier bonds rooted in mutual understanding and respect. Like a mechanic for your heart, therapy provides a tune-up for your relationships.

Self-Love and Healing

Life brings inevitable struggles, yet they can become opportunities to understand ourselves more deeply and love ourselves more fully. Seeking therapy demonstrates courage, vulnerability, and a desire to grow in positive ways. Reaching out provides a compassionate, non-judgemental space to find answers and clarity, to process complex emotions, and to jumpstart the journey of healing and self-discovery. With consistency, compassion, acceptance, and commitment to personal growth, you can develop emotional muscles and make it through the tunnel to see the light.

Releasing Trauma

I appreciate author Terry Real’s definition of trauma. He suggests trauma results not just from major painful events but from daily microaggressions built up over time. It’s fair to assume we’ve all greatly suffered at some point, and our bodies still hold that pain. Therapy can help release this grip. By processing trauma, you don’t forget events but stop letting them control you. Therapy helps you move forward, crafting an empowering narrative.

therapy for improved self-image

Improved Self-Image

Who are you and what do you think of yourself? This is one of the many questions we can answer in therapy to help you improve your image of yourself. The image we hold of ourselves is not only internal but also external; however, the one that matters most is our evaluation of ourselves. When we like who we are as human beings, we make life choices, set goals, and take actions that reflect the value we assign to ourselves. Self-image is connected to your sense of identity and purpose. Healthy self-image leads to actualizing your potential.

find your purpose with therapy

Gain Insight and Purpose

Therapy helps you shift perspectives and see your life in a new light. Gaining insight is a therapeutic process that is healing and freeing. From subtle changes in perception to awe-inspiring moments, therapy holds promise for discovery, revelation, transformation, and coming home to self. As you grow and learn about yourself, many questions will be answered. What your life is about and where you are going will become clear. You will understand that life has a purpose and that every action you take leads you toward more meaning.
