Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. It's not always comfortable, but it's never weakness -Brene Brown. Hi, I'm Lydia and I utilize a solution focused, mindfulness based approach to aid clients in exploring their authentic selves and behavioral patterns. Like a Phoenix, I believe individuals have the ability to rise from the ashes as renewed, stronger versions of themselves. Whether those ashes are from broken relationships, perpetual marital problems, crippling anxiety, career dissatisfaction or the aftermath of trauma, they have the ability to transform you.
I integrate an eclectic mix of counseling methods for individuals and don't believe in a one size fits all approach. These techniques are designed to help you become aware of negative patterns and cycles in your life, and to give you insights, tools and strategies to help you break free of them. For Couples, I have specialized training in The Gottman Method.
My goal as your counselor is to be genuine enough to laugh and cry with you, and honest enough to tell you the truth. While my experience is diverse, I specialize in working specifically with Anxiety/OCD disorders, ADHD, CPTSD and couples/relational work.
