Do you want to understand yourself and others better? Maybe you don't understand why you're depressed, anxious, prone to mood swings, or having difficulty experiencing satisfying relationships, or just don't know how to change it. I help you understand how your experiences, and your thoughts related to those experiences, relate to your suffering (depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood swings, relationships, self-esteem, anger, shame). We collaborate to explore your life (past/present) to gain insight. We ID what you want to change and how to achieve that, while recognizing and accepting what can't be changed or controlled. Life gets better
I help you build a better relationship with yourself and others. I provide a trauma-informed approach for healing, recovery, and growth. I encourage mindfulness, radical acceptance, and strengthening coping skills. I am strongly influenced by CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, developmental psychology, attachment theory, along with somatic and emotion-focused approaches.
Research suggests that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is far more important than the specific type of approach. What's most important is feeling comfortable being your full self with your therapist, in a judgment-free zone, feeling appreciated, and free to speak up w/o the need to please, hold back, or defend.
