I specialize in helping clients alleviate pervasive symptoms in order to develop a greater sense of self-worth and adequacy, construct nurturing relationships, and develop and achieve goals to work toward a healthy and happy life experience. Using the highly efficacious Schema Therapy model, clients learn to eliminate maladaptive coping responses by changing the beliefs (schemas) that drive them. Seeing my clients transform their lives, achieve personal development and reach true empowerment has been one of my greatest joys.

Are you an individual who is having difficulty managing day-to-day stressors? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, constantly criticizing yourself and not so sure on how to tell that inner critic in your head to take a step back?

I have helped and guided many people who have made that first step into taking control of their life.

There is a reason why the safety protocols on airplanes instruct us to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first in case of an emergency. We can not care for others if we don’t focus on our own needs, even with the very limited time most of us have daily. Yet many of us get stuck on a hamster wheel and end up giving and giving until we simply have nothing left. This in conjunction with trauma can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. My goal is to disrupt that cycle by providing a safe space for my clients to work through their most vulnerable emotions and emerge ready to tackle life’s challenges.

We live in a world that can make us feel stuck, hopeless, or worthless at times. We may struggle with finding our purpose, overcoming certain obstacles, or healing from past wounds. I acknowledge that life can be a challenge and asking for a helping hand is one of the toughest to take upon. However, it is also one of the bravest actions to take. Seeking therapy also demonstrates self-awareness. It shows that you are ready to create a more meaningful life for yourself, whether that entails processing distressful feelings, working through past trauma, improving relationships, breaking unhealthy habits, or building a work-life balance.

I am sensitive and empathetic and value the professional relationship I can build with clients. By listening to the client tell me about their lives, I strive to help the client understand their feelings better. I feel the greatest gift a therapist can give a client is to help build self-awareness. When we understand what we are feeling it is easier to understand our goals.

“I feel stuck.... Nothing is going to get better... I don’t know why I feel this way... Nobody understands what I'm going through.” How many of these thoughts sound familiar? Sometimes, one of the most difficult things to navigate is how we feel. Life is hard. It’s filled with things that are stressful, overwhelming, painful, and heartbreaking. It can be challenging just to get through the day without crying, losing motivation, isolating, or feeling hopeless. It can be a lot to handle. Figuring out how to change that doesn’t have to be.

Bipolar Disorder Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
