My goal in providing psychotherapy to adults and teens is to approach the problems clients bring into therapy as issues that they can fix with a different, usually better approach. Whether that includes anger, anxiety, addiction or depression, or their belief that there is something wrong with them (guilt, shame, ADHD, Autism, LGBTQ+) or that they do not deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and valued because of who they are or how they act around others, the initial step is to discuss what is important to the client and validate the client' needs and desires.
As a therapist, I provide understanding and validation, becoming the “good enough parent” that you did not have as a child. Clients' increase self-awareness and learn new skills including breathing techniques to reduce anxiety and panic attacks, stronger communication skills and the ability to set healthy boundaries, which will improve all relationships.
Trauma, anger, anxiety, fear, depression are symptoms that bring clients to therapists to seek answers and relief. Let me help you find the answers you seek and teach you the tools and skills to begin to change your life.
