I often hear, "But other people have it worse," in an attempt to downplay our struggles and make things feel more manageable. While this mindset may be helpful at times, it also minimizes the importance of our current situation and dismisses our feelings. Whatever you are facing, if it's important to you it's also important to me. As a clinician with experience in multiple therapeutic settings, I have treated panic disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a special spot in my heart for grief and loss and have treated those struggling with prolonged grief.
I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy to help individuals change unhelpful thinking patterns, create goals, and identify their own unique abilities when it comes to navigating their current challenges. My style is down to earth and genuine.
I invite you to reach out to determine if we are a good fit. Therapy is a team effort. There is hope, and we can get through this time together.
