As we get to know one another you will find that my approach is curious, compassionate and direct. Therapy can be serious work, but that doesn’t mean we have to take ourselves too seriously. You can expect that I will use some humor as a means to challenge maladaptive coping or self defeated thinking. Most days we will laugh, some days we may cry. Sometimes I will tell you things that you may not want to hear. My role is not only to provide emotional support, but hold you accountable. There may be moments of discomfort, but through our honest work together you can achieve the relationship with yourself that you deserve.
Parts work also known as internal family systems is a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy modality. Our work together will involve identifying and understanding your parts - many of which operate as various defense mechanisms that may have served you in the past, but may not be serving you now. For more info about the work I do, visit my website.
My goal is to help you build both self compassion and distress tolerance skills so that you can be responsive to your own emotional needs. I will help you reach a place where you feel confident in your ability to regulate your emotions. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation.
