Sometimes something really bad happens that hurts you, shakes you to your core, and throws you way off course. When that happens life may feel really heavy, scary, or even overwhelming. Often there isn’t someone who is safe to talk to about how you are feeling. Maybe you’ve even tried talking to someone and they just didn’t get it, or worse, made you feel terrible about it. Sometimes that awful thing happened awhile ago and it feels like you “should” be over it already.
Anxiety or depression, feelings of panic, lack of motivation, frustration or irritability, loss or grief, difficulty sleeping, or even just confusion and disillusionment can all be a part of the experience.A counselor can be a private, safe, accepting, and supportive place to heal from and work through the rough spots.
I have worked with many people who have felt like this, and who are now living their lives doing amazing things! I would love to talk with you about what’s going on for you. I will listen with compassion and understanding, never judgement. Give me a call or schedule an appointment. Let’s get you started feeling better!
I have been honored to meet and work with more amazing people than you can imagine! My clients inspire me with their courage and their stories.
I’m waiting to hear your story and I will honor your courage. In the meantime, please remember that there is no one like you in all the world, there is no one who has experienced exactly what you’ve experienced, no one who has had to have the courage to face exactly what you’ve faced. But you are not alone. Many others have been courageous and have overcome! I’ve watched it happen! It’s exciting to see!
