I hope to help you understand ways your past impacts your present, but doesn't stop you from seeing what's possible for your future. I'll help you connect your intentions and goals to your values around your relationships, your understanding of your Self, and in other aspects of your life.
With enhanced emotion regulation, clear communication, and increased awareness of your responses to triggers, you'll be able to make behavior change in places that may have felt impossible in the past. Change can be slow-going, but with intentionality it will have a lasting effect on your life.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach myriad coping strategies while also getting unstuck from long-held beliefs about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. I also use CBT to help you see patterns in thinking that might keep you stuck with negative beliefs about yourself or others.
This may be your first time coming to therapy, or you may be returning after a break. I look forward to supporting you in your journey of self-discovery, healing, or relationship repair. I'm happy to do a phone consultation to see if we are a good fit to work together!
