Compassionate & Productive
My goal is for you to walk away from our sessions with something productive to practice or think about.
Most people who I see do improve! They tell me it’s by far one of the best things they have done for themselves.
Clients come to me looking for genuine compassion for what they experienced on a deeper level & productive non-ruminating preocessing & practical steps for a secure feeling of wholeness again.
With my background in Psychology & Sociology,
I understand both your inner world & the bigger picture. Together, we’ll explore the challenges around you & within you to build a meaningful, balanced life.
I use easy-to-grasp metaphors & diagrams so you can understand how the psychology relates to your life quickly.
So you can become empowered along the way to eventually be your own productive guide.
Maybe You Had Therapy Before…
But you are ready for something more substantial beyond regular talk therapy & a couple of skills.
I guide my clients step-by-step, building the skills to lower high anxiety levels.
Skills that support "in the storm"
And skills that alleviate the tension baseline (where you hang out most of the week).
I help my clients sort through thoughts & where the extra emotions originate.
I help their hearts dissolve the experiences that linger & make them feel unsettled.
I practice with various empirically researched treatment methods based on your individual needs, empirical safety, and effectiveness per each condition.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can feel more in control.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Builds emotional resilience, stress tolerance, and relationship skills to help you navigate challenges.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) – Supports you in facing fears gradually and safely, so they lose their hold on you.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) – Uses mindfulness to ease stress, reduce overwhelm, and create emotional balance.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) – Blends mindfulness and CBT to prevent anxiety and depression from taking over.
Positive Psychology – Focuses on strengths, gratitude, and growth to help you thrive, not just cope.
Psychodynamic Therapy – Uncovers deep-rooted patterns from past experiences, helping you break free from what no longer serves you.
Somatic Therapy – Uses body awareness to release stored stress and emotional pain, promoting deep healing.
Trauma: Written Exposure Therapy (EMDR Next Generation.) – A structured, research-backed, state-of-the-art way to dissolve trauma through only 5 sessions of targeted techniques.
