The hardest step is the first step, congratulations on making the decision towards at minimum, researching a therapist who may be the best fit to walk this journey with you. I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in performance anxiety (i.e, sports, musician, giving an important speech, job interview, taking a big test, etc), relationship and intimacy challenges, and pain management or other health related concerns. I have had the pleasure to work with collegiate athletes and weekend warriors on working with improving their game or overcoming an injury. I have worked for and with physicians, physical , occupational, and speech therapists within a physical medicine rehabilitation hospital to assist the team, patient, and family with overcoming the emotional rollercoaster and stressors that come with injury, a new diagnosis, brain injury, or chronic pain.
No matter the situation for which you are finding yourself in need to speak with someone, the anxiety and/ or depression is likely impacting your relationships, your level of intimacy you can provide to someone you love or even to yourself. You may feel as if you are going through something alone or that no one will understand, so you have become distant, feeling as if you are living in a foreign land. I will work with you in navigating the unfamiliar for which you find yourself by walking with you though your life to better understand where you are today and the road you are in search of taking to find success.
