Are you feeling overwhelmed by uncomfortable or painful emotions? Having a hard time controlling urges to act in ways that are unhelpful, ineffective, or harmful? Trying to make changes but find yourself continually falling into the same old patterns? Feeling a bit lost and looking for someone to help you sort through your thoughts? If so, you've come to the right place. I am here to help you explore the barriers that are preventing you from living your best possible life, and figure out how to change what's not working.

My primary therapeutic framework is DBT, which focuses on increasing skills to tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and improve relationships. I also have training in CBT, CPT (cognitive processing therapy), Coherence Therapy, EMDR, and Polyvagal Theory, among others. Please contact me to find out if my approach will be a good fit for your needs.

I believe in each person's innate capacity to grow and heal; sometimes we just need help finding and developing the tools to do so. We'll work collaboratively to increase your self-awareness, reconnect with your inner strength, and shift patterns of thinking and behaviour that are keeping you stuck. Learn more at eropsych.com !

Karen Lemke
