Griffin Trapp, LPC

Being alive is an extraordinary project.  For as many experiences as there are which enrich and empower us, there are those which challenge us and cast doubt on our sense of self, and the direction of our lives.  While it’s virtually guaranteed that we’ll all encounter moments of suffering, I’m certain that life is meant to be enjoyed.  Often, when we allow another to accept us fully, and to bear witness to our struggles, we find strength.  Our work is to reclaim the tools you have for growth and for progress.  Let’s start exactly where you are.

Sometimes we can suffer in ways which are profound and overwhelming, while also difficult to articulate.  Naturally, we want to understand what we are feeling and why.  We want things to make sense — and wanting this makes sense!

Other times we can say exactly what it is which inhibits us; anxiety, depression, grief and loss, a life transition, conflicts in our relationships, powerful emotions, destructive behaviors, addiction, dissociation, a lack of purpose, et cetera.  As common as these experiences may be for people everywhere, each can have the effect of making one feel very alone.  If you feel this way, I’d love for us to talk.
