About My Clients
My clients are the hardest workers I've ever met. While they recognize their standards are set way high for themselves, there's a nagging voice in their mind telling them they're lazy. Fall short of an expectation & their mind's on a one-way train to Shametown with thoughts like, "see, you've never been as good as you've pretended to be and here's the evidence to prove it." Together, we work to find new ways of relating to those thoughts and feelings so they don't hold such a grip on our lives.
My Background and Approach
In so many ways, the painful emotions and anxious, scary thoughts we experience can make it really challenging to live the kind of life we want. I work with clients to figure out how to hold those feelings a little differently and how look at those thoughts through a new lens. This gives them the freedom to move closer to a rich and meaningful life. Through our work together, you can expect to build some flexibility and gentleness with yourself, make room for tough feelings, get clear on the qualities you want to bring to your life, and learn to take time to just be where your feet are. I primarily use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, which has shown to be effective for a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and OCD. The most important thing to me when it comes to my approach is flexibility: I want to do what what will work best for you.
