Searching for skills to regulate your emotions and control your behavior? Do you think, "My mind won't stop." "Why can't I let go of things?", "I am so hard on myself!" If this resonates with you, I can help. I teach practical skills that effectively deal with uncontrollable thoughts and feelings and help you cultivate the ability to control what you do and what you say so you can live more aligned with who you truly are. Increasing your ability to be present is a key focus as this is how we change. Developing a deeper level of awareness creates a space where you have more control of yourself. Anyone can learn these valuable skills!
While supporting you through your challenges, I teach problem solving skills. This research based approach addresses a wide range of presenting problems. I use CBT combined with a mindful therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We are not taught these skills in school, so viewing therapy as a way to educate yourself is a helpful approach.
Asking for help can be hard! Having 25 yrs as a licensed psychologist, I have learned that letting values instead of emotions guide our behavior leads to a more fulfilling life as well as minimizes suffering. Being present and intentional with your actions creates a joyful and meaningful life that we all desire. Reach out, if this is what you are seeking.
