My Approach to Helping

I love helping people discover new ways to be with anxiety, anger and stress. Life is full of complicated feelings and life experiences. Anxiety, anger and overwhelm are natural responses to situations and life challenges. If you are having trouble: letting go or move forward, yelling to much or loosing patience quicker at home or work, constantly feeling stressed or overwhelmed, come work with me. I believe anger and overwhelm are often signals that something is wrong. How we deal with the signals and feelings is where people get into trouble.

My work focuses on teaching clients how to be with all of their feelings in healthy ways. In ways that do not negatively impact others. Learning how to have your feelings and not take them out on family, friends, co workers is possible. I enjoy teaching clients, through experiential learning, how to focus on their feelings and experiences and separate feelings from thoughts and actions. Practicing mindfullness, learning Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other tools, through hands on experiences will teach you how to honor, manage and calm big feelings so you can choose actions and responses that help you feel good about yourself and encourage connection with the people around you. Finally, we explore boundaries, healthy self care and ruitines that support your new skill development and lead to a more fulfilling life where you feel confident you can rebound from life's ups and downs.

My work is also strength-based, focusing on the unique experience and skills people already have available to them to overcome their problems. This can include their family history, beliefs, ideas, values, culture and ethnicity.

Psychotherapy with me is about trust building, exploration of feelings, different ideas and perspectives and education. I believe that through psychotherapy and skill building, people can change, grow and live healthy, complex lives.

If you are ready to make a change and build new ruitines and skills for life, email me to schedule a free 20 minute consultation.
