We are all resilient people that are amazing at adapting and changing with our environments. When those places are unstable, unsafe or inconsistent, we figure out ways to survive. These patterns or beliefs can soothe us, keep us in control or help us to express ourselves. However for many of us, they can also become a burden and themselves a source of suffering. A complicated mix of discomfort as well as serving a meaningful function. No wonder it’s so hard to make changes, even when we have every good reason to. Taking on these patterns may seem overwhelming, however we can begin anywhere and set goals that makes sense for you.
My passion in clinical work is to explore patterns such as non-stop worrying, spacing out, compulsive behaviors or (insert your ‘whatever’ here.) Together we can work to understand why these emerged, why they thrived and where to go when they start becoming outdated. We can identify new ways to cope that feel genuine to you in addition to relieving stress.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for wherever you may be. I have experience helping people who have anxiety, depression, trauma and/or problematic substance use. I utilize a mix of therapy types including Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, and Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy.
