I often work with high-functioning professionals, creatives, or students who look "fine" on the outside but are exhausted on the inside. Over-thinkers, people-pleasers and conflict avoiders (Anxiety) who criticize themselves constantly (Low Self-Esteem). Individuals who might be going through or fearing a breakup and those who are grieving from major life changes (Endings). Where previous therapy felt like just "venting" and led to no lasting change, OR have tried apps/CBT and felt it was too surface-level. Sounding familiar? Do you want to finally understand why you are this way, and learn how to cope with emotional pain?
I offer A Unique Therapeutic Blend of Insight and Action • Psychodynamic Therapy: Explore the unseen forces, early relationships, and unconscious patterns that shape your life. Turn confusion into clarity. Improve self-knowledge and gain insight. • DBT Skills: Turn insight into action, learn life skills to find freedom from painful repeating patterns.
You deserve to feel fully present in your life—not held back by yesterday’s pain or hijacked by today’s anxiety. At Open Mind Therapy, you don't have to choose between finding out why you feel this way (the past) and learning how to feel differently (the present). We do both. I invite your Curiosity so together, we can find the Courage to Freedom.
