So here you are looking for a therapist. But which kind?
CBT, DBT, strength based, attachment based, emotionally focused, rational emotive, relational, psychodynamic, humanistic, Gottman, Rogerian…
A lot of interesting terms. How do you know which will fit best for you and your life?
​
What we have found is that half the success of any tested and proven technique comes through the therapeutic relationship with a skilled clinician. I build that relationship by helping you teach me about yourself so that we can draw from my trainings and experience to customize a unique plan that reflects your personal strengths, values, and goals, rather than by attempting to apply just one expert approach to every client.
You might already recognize symptoms of depression or anxiety, but maybe you aren’t sure what’s going on. Just that it doesn’t feel right. It’s too uncomfortable. You feel stuck or isolated. Some people manage to carry on as usual as far as anyone else can see, but they are avoiding unpleasant feelings and thoughts with activities or habits that don’t fit the life they really want. Some find that doing what used to be easy has become utterly impossible. Some of us have a prescription from our primary care physician that helps but doesn’t quite get us where we want to be.
​
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness and tears. Did you know that eating or sleeping either too much or too little can be symptoms of depression? Depression can also leave you feeling empty, numb, guilty, or hopeless. It can include going over the same thoughts endlessly.
​
Anxiety doesn’t always feel like worry or fear. Sometimes it looks more like irritability, racing thoughts, or restlessness.
​
Relationships are fundamental to all human existence. Not just in dating or marriage, but coworkers, friends, relatives, children, community, etc. Are you feeling isolated, disappointed, or frustrated in your relationships? By exploring your experiences and expectations we can improve your interactions with others and help build the connections that work for you.
​
Parenting has always been a challenge, but today old challenges can be heightened and new ones might appear. Parenting is a specialized kind of relationship that uses some of the same skills we use at work and in our other relationships but in different ways. I can help you find connection with your children while providing them with the structure that allows you both to thrive.
