Hi all! I am currently accepting new clients and offering telehealth sessions so that we can stay connected while practicing social distancing. We are all in this together.

Many clients worry that their problem is not big enough or important enough for therapy. Seeking support can be particularly challenging if you grew up receiving messages that it’s weak to ask for help or to show emotion. Help end the stigma around seeking support for mental health. No one should have to “tough out” a treatable mental health condition. You wouldn’t tell someone with impaired vision to “Just try harder to see” or “Wait for things to get worse” instead of suggesting glasses. Why treat mental health any differently?

You don’t need to struggle alone. There are people who care and want to help that are only a call or text away.

We communicate through our words, tone of voice, body language and actions. If you are not communicating congruently your message is likely not getting across and your needs are likely not being met. Your loved ones cannot comfort you if they do not know you are hurting. Your partner will not come closer if you are pushing them away.

Setting boundaries and saying “no” is not mean or selfish, it is necessary for your self-care. People who have difficulty saying “no” tend to neglect their own needs in order to please others. This is a form of self-betrayal and can leave you feeling taken advantaged of by others. You can be a better friend to yourself and others by listening to your needs and setting boundaries. When your cup is full you can better pour into others.💕
