About My Clients
All of a sudden you remember that you have to do this, that thing that is so important to get to, that you have to do, the thing you don't really want to do. If only you could put it off your head. So now you're keeping yourself busy to avoid doing it, but the more you avoid it, the worst you feel. Why can't you just make yourself do it! And just like that you're on edge again. The uneasiness will follow all day long. Then the negative thoughts come "what is wrong with me"...
My Background and Approach
In our work together we will identify beliefs and behaviors that are no longer working. We'll get to the root cause of your painful memories, or events that caused them, shifting the way they affect you. Together we'll work to release the shame, low self esteem, anxiety and negative views that have been keeping you stuck. We are trained in EMDR therapy, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices. What this means is that we utilize therapeutic interventions that are powerful and effective at bringing relief from suffering.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I firmly believe that every individual possesses the incredible capacity for change and growth at any stage of their lives. There is no finite limit to human potential, and this conviction forms the foundation of my approach to promoting social justice, equity, and helping individuals heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am convinced that many of the mental health challenges we face are the result of learned behaviors that have manifested as unhealthy coping mechanisms along our life journeys. Therefore, it is my unwavering belief that we can unlearn these maladaptive behaviors and replace them with healthier ones, paving the way for healing and personal growth. As someone who once battled severe anxiety during my formative years, I can empathize with the overwhelming grip that such conditions can have on one's life. However, I am a testament to the transformative power of therapy and resilience.
