Welcome to my blog
Counseling is an investment! It’s an investment in yourself, your relationships, your career and your happiness. It’s an investment in your future and let’s be honest, it can be transformative...if you put the work in.
One of the common questions clients asks when they first call to schedule is, “Why should I pay out of pocket for counseling if it’s covered under my insurance plan?”
I saw a bumper sticker recently that stated, "I play the harmonica, what's your superpower?" Strangely enough, it got me thinking. I began to ask myself what makes me different from all the other therapists out there? This simple question started to feel really large as I sat down to write about it and I felt the familiar feeling of fear rise up in my body as I prepared to make myself vulnerable and to tell you a little about myself.
It feels like ANXIETY has taken control of your life. You feel like you "SHOULD" be able to handle things but it's hard to even think sometimes. You want to feel better but don't know exactly where to start.
Okay, let's start by taking a nice long, slow deep breath. Are you with me now? Let's deconstruct your ANXIETY. I want to give you real tools to help gain more control over how you feel.
You wonder how you got to this point. You look around and realize you're surrounded by kids, dishes, responsibilities and you realize that your relationship with your spouse has become functional. Yes, you're a well oiled machine and you've literally mastered "divide and conquer," but then you realize that you don't even remember what life was like when you came home from work excited to re-connect with your spouse. You can't remember how it felt to snuggle up at the end of a long day and talk to each other like you did when you were dating.
You are not alone…
