About My Clients
Many people start thinking about therapy because, emotionally, they don’t feel good. Maybe your emotions end up taking you for a ride and you feel helpless to stop it. Emotions come and go, but they can sometimes feel endless, especially if they are intense. Or maybe you are struggling to get in touch with your emotions and you find it difficult to connect. Either way, what ends up making it worse is the power struggle we get into with our own emotions. Why not avoid the power struggle?
My Background and Approach
Emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are like cogs in a wheel, and we will work together to figure out where and how the breakdown is occurring. My therapeutic approach is a combination of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and interpersonal psychotherapy. I have a background in neurofeedback, so I also take into account biological and neuropsychological factors.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Change becomes possible when we realize that our problems may not be our fault, but they are our responsibility to address. We must forgive ourselves for being imperfect, and from a standpoint of self-compassion and nonjudgmental curiosity, we will begin our work together.
