Do you feel overwhelmed by painful thoughts and feelings but don't know what to do about them? Are you stuck in patterns of behavior that no longer work for you? Do you wish you had the tools to respond to anxiety differently? I use personalized mindfulness and exposure-based therapies to help you build awareness and skills to address what is leaving you feeling stuck and in pain. I am currently offering telehealth and limited in-person services for adults 18 and older.
My philosophy is that pain is an inevitable part of life, and often our attempts to control or get rid of the pain lead to more suffering. But we can accept that pain as a part of the human experience and move forward anyway. That means accessing our natural ability to heal and create the life we want.
My goal for therapy is to establish a genuine relationship where we can talk honestly and openly with each other. From this place of trust, I want to help clients figure out how to adapt to and accept whatever they are dealing with. I hope you feel the warmth, humor, and non-judgmentalness I carry into every interaction.
