How a Professional Can Help You Feel More at Peace and Hopeful Again

   My name is Kate Burns and I specialize in helping people who are in emotional pain due to fear, anxiety, depression, marital or relationship difficulties, family strain, loneliness, or stress from alcohol and drug use — who want to feel better.

 

Do you long for a resolution so you can feel relief or optimistic again?

Has one problem begun to affect other aspects of your life that used to be okay? 

Do you feel upset that no matter what you've tried you haven't been able to 'fix it' on your own?

 

Emotional pain can be so great that it blocks out any good you have in your life.

• Do you long to enjoy the things and the people you love, but can't now?

• Has your stress level been so high you feel exhausted or have physical symptoms?

• Do you ask why this had to happen to you, or think you may have caused it?

 

You may wish you could have the life you once had or the kind of life, or relationship you see others having.  You may have read books, been to other therapists, or talked to people you trust.  On the other hand, maybe you've never even considered therapy, thinking it was for other people.

 

All the things you have to deal with may feel impossible.  Maybe you've had some scary thoughts when you thought nothing would change.

 

But you can make a different decision.  You can find someone:

 

• with whom you can be honest and talk freely

• who will listen to you and, in turn, make you feel heard

• who will help you discover strengths you didn't realize you had

• with whom you can explore and create solutions that make sense to you

• who you can collaborate with, developing a plan to address things one by one

• who can help you revise that plan when/if you think someone else may work better

 

Ultimately, if you'd like, we will move beyond resolving the problems and create a satisfying life in which you will thrive.  As a licensed therapist, I have had the privilege of helping people develop more enduring and productive patterns in their lives.  And I would like to help YOU.
