Here's a wide range of examples of
questions my clients bring to therapy:
Am I okay?
Am I a bad person?
Am I too emotional, too much, or out of control?
Who am I and how can I become more of myself?
When will I feel like enough?
Why do I repeat the same mistakes?
Will I ever have the romantic relationship that I want?
Why do I feel so insecure in relationships?
How do I get unstuck?
Is there something wrong with me?
How do I make lasting friendships in adulthood?
Where am I going?
What if nothing means anything?
