So, here you are looking for some help. Well done--as it is often a challenge, beginning to look for options/help. It is no small task getting beyond where you are, and then moving toward what you want. Sorting it all out can feel overwhelming, just like actually making that first call to a therapist. I applaud your courage and wisdom in sorting it out and in seeking assistance. I would love to be a part of helping you discover this process, and to share some of your upcoming journey. When you are ready, please give me a call. I am right here. I offer my experience, training, and passion when working together to build the timeline and the path to where you want to go (regrettably, no magic wands). I like to work from several models, including, CBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP),Hypnosis, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Whether it is just you, your partner, or your whole family, I find it helpful to have a place of safety and acceptance to explore where you are and where you want to go. Though therapy is a big step it can also be the big payoff, feeling better/good.
