Hello! I think one of the most important parts about choosing a mental health provider is to feel like there is a good fit between you and the clinician. I'll try to explain a few things about me and how I work, and I welcome you to email or call if there are any further questions I can answer. I take the therapeutic relationship very seriously, so I will spend a lot of time trying to get to know you, to understand what is causing obstacles in your life, and to identify what you would like to ge...
Freedom is a heavy burden. The task of authoring our lives is a serious one, which cannot be meaningfully handed over to anyone else. In keeping with this belief, I work hard to respect the autonomy of the people I see in therapy. Rather than attempt to hand you solutions to problems in your life, I seek to understand with you as fully as possible the past and present factors that affect how you think, feel, and act. Understanding can be transformative. As we shine light on aspects of ourselves ...

Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discom...
