Welcome!
I am so glad you have decided to reach out for the support you deserve in therapy. It takes a lot of strength and courage to reach out for help! Opening up to a stranger about some of your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings is an act of bravery.
Most people who are looking for a therapist, have a mixture of feelings. You might be feeling both nervous and hopeful. Most of all, you are hoping to connect with someone who understands your situation and has the skills to help you. It's important to find a therapist who you feel safe and comfortable working with.
Overall, I work with people who have experienced all types of relational trauma. Some examples of relational trauma include (but are not limited to):
- Infidelity
- Breakups
- Divorce
- Feeling disconnected from your partner
- Feeling misunderstood by the people in your life
- Feeling lonely
- Losing a loved one
- Communication that doesn't feel effective or respectful
- Fighting and arguments that leave you feeling attacked
- Emotional and physical neglect/abuse from childhood effecting your happiness and success in adulthood
When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: You haven't!
