For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Most people are hesitant to start therapy. I've learned that if you have a consistent voice telling you to do therapy you should probably start and see what happens. So many people have come to me and said they have been thinking about starting therapy for 10 years. My advice would be to not wait. If you think you could benefit from therapy, you probably can. And while its strange at first to open up to a stranger, a good therapist will help you reflect on things you can change but not judge you. I have a skill at helping people in individual and couples therapy learn about their dynamics and work on communication. You are not always going to like what your therapist says to you, because we can feel bad about the things we need to change. In therapy you are learning, and a good therapist knows this, they will listen, push a little, and praise the steps you make towards change. As a client your job is to take a risk and tell your therapist your honest truth, your therapist's job is to learn about you and nudge you towards change.

I have a passion for helping people who have educational and relational challenges due to ADHD & neurodivergence. I can help you if you are struggling in a relationship due to infidelity or divorce or just can't find the relationship you know you need. Many people who come to me are experiencing anxiety, depression, are unsure about how to help themself with stress or procrastination, feelings of instability during a life transition. Therapy is a wonderful opportunity for support, to grow insight, and make change. It's scary when you don't know why things aren't going your way. I have helped people understand their behaviors, feelings, and brain chemistry so they can be happier. We will focus on strengthening your mental well-being and helping you be true to yourself and the people you love. I do individual and couple's therapy.

To those who are hesitant to try therapy, I would want to convey that it's completely understandable to feel apprehensive about seeking help. Taking that first step can be daunting, but it's important to recognize that therapy is a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I wish I could tell them that therapy is not about being "broken" or "weak." It's about gaining insight, developing coping skills, and finding solutions to the challenges you're facing. It's a courageous act of self-care and self-discovery. I would want them to know that therapists are trained professionals who are here to listen, validate your experiences, and provide guidance and support as you work towards your goals. You have the power to create positive change in your life, and therapy can be a valuable tool on that journey. Lastly, I would emphasize that you don't have to face your struggles alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, and therapy can offer you the support and resources you need to navigate life's ups and downs with resilience and confidence.
