I have a holistic approach, which integrates various modalities to best serve your unique needs. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is an action oriented approach that stems from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). ACT allows for more flexibility, and we will collaborate to help therapy be effective and useful for you. I can help you to stop avoiding and struggling with difficult emotions; and facilitate changing your relationship with anxiety.
Psychotherapy can help to reduce suffering, enhance existing strengths, and allow you to learn skills to build a more meaningful life. I will also incorporate various mindfulness techniques, which can contribute to rewiring the brain to be more connected and present in daily life. We will work together to help change your relationship with anxiety. I will approach our sessions from a place of non judgment and compassion; and aim to provide affirming and empowering support.
