Your mind has been pushing you around with negative thoughts. You have tried to "be more positive" but that hasn't worked. You are having problems in your relationships and some days feel like a ride on an emotional rollercoaster. You know something needs to change but you aren't sure what. You are feeling stuck.
In our first session, we will begin an assessment to understand the scope of your current struggles. We will look at how this relates to your past and how you want your future to be different. We may write on a white board and brainstorm ways to disrupt patterns. If you are willing to take action steps between sessions, you will get the most out of therapy.
My clinical demeanor is professional but relaxed. I have a good sense of humor and am comfortable with cursing. I feel so fortunate that I get to help my clients alleviate anxiety, depression, and OCD get unstuck and live with more freedom and purpose.
