Repetitive dysfunctional patterns of behavior may be affecting your relationships, your job, and certainly your overall self-esteem. Our work together is to first help you find and understand "why" you take certain negative actions, or become overly self-critical. I look to expose you to effective tools to change behaviors and patterns that are hindering you, and keeping you from evolving to a better place in your life. By exploring the "why am I the way that I am" questions, we will explore as to what may be holding you back. In this process, I will provide helpful tools so that your "inner critic" or "inner demons" can be understood, and thus managed more effectively. We will perhaps look to explore self-critical elements you've held on to, and, in time, place various negative behaviors in their proper perspective, thus making these defaults understood as you move forward. We can look to explore using various Psychodynamic modalities, but I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to be very effective toward bringing about lasting change. A primary goal is to help you broaden your own awareness and perspective as to yourself and situations.
I have a well-rounded understanding of the complexities involved in navigating very different worlds. I have owned and operated businesses. I've worked creatively, as both a professional actor and writer in the entertainment industry.
I have a deep passion toward helping others shift out of, and away from, long-standing negative patterns of behavior that have gotten in your way. Working safely together, we will examine what these patterns have been for you and why, with the ultimate goal of realizing you have new choices, leading you toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
