What I do
I help people burdened with mood disorders and anxiety to lighten their load, aid people with ADHD to work with their strengths, and support college students affected by ADD/ADHD or other psychological disabilities to succeed as students and as people.
- If you're confused, you'll get more clarity.
- If you're hurting, you'll catch your breath.
- If you're worried, you'll see the difference between what might happen and what is happening, and have a plan to deal with whatever does happen.
- If you need to get going and get things done, you'll learn to start small and persevere.
My job is to help you be your best self.
I offer cognitive-behavioral, somatic, mind-body, mindfulness based, and neuro-cognitively informed therapy for adults.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a research supported approach that starts with the idea that what or how we think about a situation and what we do has a huge impact on how we feel. In order to feel different, we often need to think different and do different. First.
In addition to using CBT, I can teach you to make friends with your brain and your body via relaxation and guided imagery, as well as a practical understanding of how the brain works.
We're likely to talk about sleep, nutrition and exercise - the body and the brain are both part of the same package! It's truly remarkable how much better equipped you are to deal with even the most complex problems when the basics are in place.
If you're suffering from anxiety, physical pain, or the after-effects of trauma, we might use an approach such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
Often, there's something to do at home - a practice or an action to try, a website to check out, a podcast to listen to, an article to read, or a question for journaling.
