Therapy provides the opportunity for learning how to become the person you want to be. How to better understand and manage your emotions. Learning ways to improve your relationships. Making more satisfying decisions and creating positive change. Equally important to being open to new learning is the ability to "unlearn". By this I mean there are conclusions you've reached, patterns of behavior you engage in, or "messages" you've received that are no longer valid or helpful to you now. Letting go of thought patterns and behaviors that no longer work for you is an important part of therapy.
Trained as a health and wellness coach at The Mayo Clinic, I can help you find the motivation needed to create change in all aspects of your life. By developing a "growth mindset" that focuses on your strengths and your potential, you can overcome difficult psychological and emotional obstacles.
I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, humor and respect. Understanding and supporting your goals and values is the foundation for meaningful and successful therapy. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you, answer questions and discuss how I might be of help.
