Jennifer King, LAMFT
Therapist
Is fear sucking the fulfillment from your life? Maybe you’re missing out on things you wish you could do. Do you often feel revved up? Or maybe you feel you relate to Bob from “What About Bob?” a little too closely – cold sweats, hot sweats…blurred vision, involuntary trembling, dead hands, numb lips.

We laugh, but the reality is, it’s not fun. Eventually some may crash. You’re tired. It’s exhausting to maintain this state. After prolonged periods, some may slip into a low. Things don’t seem as colorful as they used to. Everything seems a little dull. Literally and figuratively. In either case, you want to feel better.
The #1 indicator of whether therapy will help you feel better is your relationship with your counselor. A critical component of that positive relationship is that the counselor is empathetic. From childhood trauma to my own battles with mental illness, to raising special needs children; my life experiences have led a deep development of empathy.
Our struggles need not be the same. I am confident that you will find my empathetic, non-judging nature provides a comfortable scene to develop that critical relationship between you and I that leads to your greatest counseling success no matter your circumstances
