I appreciate working with individuals who have been hesitant towards or suspicious of therapy (or maybe still are!) If you’ve found yourself disconnected, frustrated, or unfulfilled in relationships, or have the belief that you or others close to you are “too sensitive” because of anxiety or emotional responses in general, we may be a good fit to work together.
Anxiety and self-judgement can cause us to avoid or numb out, and the avoidance can lead to an increase in the anxiety and self-judgement. I am passionate about working with clients who have been caught in this loop and are feeling on edge about making a change.
My therapy work includes elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment Based Therapy and Person Centered. Clients and I use the relationship we create as a vehicle to process their own interpersonal stressors, barriers to increased self-worth, and behavioral motivators while exploring personal values and integrating mindfulness practices.
Together we will learn to be curious about your apprehensions, body language, sparks of interests, emotional expression, use of humor, and inclusion of details in storytelling. I believe that responding to our need to be connected and accepted is the catalyst for growth. I am happy to answer any questions you may have in a free 15 minute consultation call!
