Are you feeling overwhelmed by panic or anxiety about your health? Facing a new diagnosis or recovering from a medical trauma? I would like to help. Hi, I'm Don. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in health-related anxiety, medical trauma, and supporting health care workers.
I believe healing happens through a strong therapeutic relationship, and it also grows through learning and practice. I want to offer you practical tools you can use outside of our sessions. While we will talk about what is happening in your life and the challenges you are facing, we will also practice exercises that help you connect more deeply with your experience. Some parts of being human are meant to be felt rather than solved, and these exercises can offer a new way forward. Together, we will build psychological flexibility so you can navigate emotional storms without being swept away by your thoughts or feelings.
In our first session we'll get to know each other a bit, but we'll also get to work. One of my top priorities is helping clients learn skills to manage those really hard to handle thoughts and feelings like anxiety, anger and depression. The skills you'll learn get more effective through practice so the sooner we start the better. We'll also begin to pinpoint some of your goals for therapy so we can be sure we're headed in the direction you want your life to go.
