I understand therapy as an act of mindfulness: a means of attenuating to, understanding, and caring for ourselves. I do not seek to cure you but only to help you become more effective at caring for and understanding yourself. Diagnoses are used to help you connect with communities or to develop more effective self-care. We need not seek to fix you because you are not broken. While this process of self-acceptance is powerful for anyone, I recommend it for people experiencing neurodiversity, complex trauma, suicidality, personality disorder, or treatment-resistant struggles. I work with anyone over age 16.
I practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy through a psychodynamic lens. What this means, in simpler terms, is that I understand you dynamically as well as medically or psychologically. I try to understand how your body, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors developed from your background, and we seek to respect these dynamics before changing them.
If you are able to reach out, then I hope that we can learn about you as we learn about life together. Before I became a therapist, I was a patient. I despised the idea that I was broken, and I needed someone to understand me before diagnosing me. I was lucky enough to be guided by a skilled social worker, and I hope, only, to impart this kindness to you.
