About My Clients
Are you always afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. I will help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to your distress, empowering you to develop healthier coping strategies and enhance your overall well-being by focusing on connections between thoughts, emotions, and actions.
My Background and Approach
I work with clients who may struggle with anxiety, depression, or trauma from their lived experiences. During our initial sessions, we will delve into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. The goal is for clients to see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement after that. The tools I'll provide you with are tools that I have been utilizing over my career, helping people just like you. My goal for you is to have at least five different tools and techniques that you can carry with you at all times. I am direct and solution-focused. I often use CBT in my practice. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to improve your feelings of empowerment and resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. This means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. Through my own therapy, I learned how to handle my anxiety and move past it so that it didn't have control over me. I haven't had a panic attack in years, and I want you to feel the same freedom that I experience every day. I don't discriminate against anyone. I make it a point to participate in community actions that support the LGBTQ community. If you want to learn more about how I can help, message me.
