Welcome to my practice! I have a doctorate in Psychology, and I have spent the last 30 years working as a Mental Health Therapist. I am licensed to practice in Washington State, Arizona, Florida, and Missouri. I work with children, teens, and adults who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and grief and loss.
I could teach you 25 different skills. If a person is not mindful, or aware, at the crucial times, that they need to use a technique then they probably will not use the skill. The therapy approach I use is grounded in understanding emotions and staying mindful of your emotions. You will also stay mindful of your body reactions, thoughts, and actions, and how these factors determine your reactions. You will learn skills anchored from CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol.
The clients I work with come to me because their emotional reactions are ruling their life. After our sessions my clients become effective problem solvers. Each week they learn new skills and are given homework to apply what they learn.
