As we are going to post your answers on the TMS Wiki, feel free to write some text to introduce yourself:
It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help. It requires facing one’s problems head on and it can stir up feelings of shame and vulnerability. You may experience difficulty with trusting someone to accompany you on this journey; but also trusting that positive change is possible. It is important to find someone you can connect with to start your healing and growth. In my work with clients, I strive to create a safe and compassionate environment. Through mutual collaboration we will get to know you, your relationships, and how to create lasting and meaningful change in your life. Positive change through therapy can provide you with improved health, greater self-confidence, more compassion for yourself and others, improved relationships, a feeling of satisfaction and ease about life, and the ability to take risks and advance professionally.
