About My Clients
Do you notice a struggle within yourself to be the person others want you to be, or you may want yourself, but know that it's impossible? I often work with adolescents, young adults, and couples struggling with perfectionism, school and job stress, and feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities around work and family, including burnout. I also work with loss of meaning and motivation, when it feels like you're alive but not living, perhaps with grief.
My Background and Approach
My approach assumes that the psychological processes of a normal human mind (thoughts and feelings) are often destructive, creating suffering through inflexible patterns. Basically, our internal systems sometimes get outdated. Instead of problem focused, I'm values focused. I don't reduce symptoms; I help you produce meaning. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Family Systems, we'll identify where you're stuck and how to move forward. For people who have "tried everything"- including other therapies- I'm here to help you get unstuck. I've found this work to have benefited my own journey, and I'd like to share what I've learned with you.
