Currently taking new clients, schedule online now! My ideal client is someone who’s ready to learn new skills and make changes in their lives. I believe the core benefit of therapy is working to get off “auto-pilot” by improving mindfulness and awareness of automatic thoughts. Once mindfulness is improved, we can work together to change distorted thoughts into something more rational/realistic. I seek to help you feel more regulated, or calm, when strong emotions present themselves.
