At several points in my life, mental health professionals have helped me find recovery and move forward toward health and wholeness. In my current work as a therapist, I welcome opportunities to accompany others on the journey to recovery, whether that means surviving trauma, overcoming addictions, improving relationships, career transitions, or learning to manage and live beyond symptoms of anxiety or depression. It would be an honor to help you clarify a future you imagine to be better, and to help you find the resilience to live into that future. That process can include discovering meanings for our experiences that don’t shackle us, but rather help us live more freely and fully. It can include cultivating mindfulness that keeps us grounded in the present. It can include practicing changes in our thinking and behavior that will increase the chances that we realize our better future.

Seems to understand where I’m coming from with my points of view so it’s a good start
