Motivating yourself to seek help when in crisis can be challenging. Life often gets in the way of carving out time for ourselves which is vital for a peaceful and compassionate existence. I offer therapy for individuals seeking assistance with anxiety, PTSD, physical and sexual trauma, and other life challenges. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to navigate difficult times. I offer a space to explore creative solutions in seeking ways to regain control with personal agency and mutual respect.

You might be an individual going through a life transition and you would like an experienced, compassionate and collaborative therapist to help you bring yourself into full expression, through appreciating your strengths, and working with you to create goals and connections to a better future.

An environment where you feel that you can express yourself freely, feel that you are being heard. I believe that it is important for there to be a person centered approach. I will provide a supportive environment as well as guide you to assure you achieve your goals.

Most of the clients I work with are individuals between the ages of 18-40 that are struggling to adjust to a recent life changes, or cope with the challenges of their everyday life. Some clients are hoping or preparing for a change. Depression, anxiety or feelings of overwhelm can all show up during these stressful times. My clients and I work together to gain insight into the cause of their symptoms, and develop skills/strategies to cope with these symptoms. I do a lot of work with my clients to help them identify their personal boundaries and values, and improve their communication skills (to help set new boundaries!).

I create a supportive environment that facilitates healing and growth. Through our collaborative work together, I empower clients to find their best answers, and teach them the skills they need to thrive in their lives and relationships.

I am skilled in both traditional techniques, such as CBT, and holistic approaches, including mindfulness. This enables me to tailor my approach to meet each person’s needs and goals.

Dr. Packard is a Modern Psychoanalyst and Licensed Mental Health Clinician. He has demonstrated an unique ability to integrate various forms of therapy into one unified approach; a blend of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy for problems of everyday life. Why use Integrative Psychotherapy? Most clinicians know that no one single theory or therapy works for all clients, all problems or situations. However, the vast majority of therapists strongly adhere to one particular approach which is fine if their approach matches the client they are seeing, the problem they are treating, where the client is in treatment, and so forth.

My 30+ years of experience have shown me that learning, change and healing are possible. Therapy is a process of learning about yourself, accessing your feelings and beliefs and gaining clarity.
