About
You find yourself wanting to stay busy because slowing down makes you think too much about everything. You notice guilt or shame come up when you want to say no to someone. These days, yelling or slamming doors is the only thing that helps when that irritable or angry feeling takes over your body. You wish you could find other ways to deal but it seems like nothing is helping and you don't know what to do. We'll look at different life situations and do a play-by-play of the event, what led up it, and what happened. Finding patterns in thoughts and behaviors can help you learn more about yourself and how you got to today. I'll provide strategies and exercises for practicing alternative ways of thinking and behaving, increasing overall quality of life. I gently invite you to learn more about yourself and help you find self-compassion and healing. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and chronic pain in teens to older adults. Please check out my website or call me to book a free, 15-minute phone consultation. Credentials & Experience: I offer services in PSYPACT participating states. Google "PSYPACT states" to check a map and see if you reside in a PSYPACT state.
"I pull from a lot of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) strategies. The first 1 to 2 sessions will focus more on information gathering to help me get a better diagnosis (think more so interview style). As we continue our work together, we will focus on self-reflection and awareness (think about how you think and how that changes your mood). Together we will then create a plan of action."
