Are you feeling unworthy of the life you are living or maybe incompetent in the role that you have? Maybe it feels like every thought that crosses your mind is a spiraling rabbit hole of worst-case scenarios, and it’s creating a barrier to reaching your fullest potential. Has it felt like you’ve been on an emotional roller coaster of sadness, anxiety, or confusion and you feel like the ride is never going to end? Perhaps an unsettling sense of wanting to isolate or build walls within your close relationships. You always make sure everyone else is taken care of first; however, you know it’s time for something different. Time for you.
My aim is to make therapy a place where you can feel comfortable and understood. I work from a place of compassion, empathy, and gentle humor. I blend active problem-solving with action and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you work on building self-awareness, enhancing emotional intelligence, and discovering values based in your authentic self.
Your readiness to change and history of consistent resilience will be valuable to your growth. I have a belief that everyone is suffering in some manner and acceptance is key to building the life you want. I am passionate in working with men/fathers/mothers on bettering themselves and their role in their family. Call today for a free 15 min consult.
