"There's no one giant step that does it. It’s a lot of little steps.” Cohen
Waitlist for new clients........
Have you been feeling trapped by societal expectations, questioning your personal identity, facing relationship conflicts or stifling family dynamics and experiencing work or academic stress? Do you retreat from those closest to you, get locked into a negative mental feedback loop, or look to others for approval or seek out pleasure to avoid or distract from what you're feeling inside? Whichever path you choose for comfort, it's no longer effective. Recognizing this, you seek change in your approach, acknowledging the need for a new path towards comfort and security.
Our work together goes beyond sessions. We'll collaborate on exercises and activities that you can practice between our meetings, apply what you've learned in real-life situations and make lasting changes. This hands-on approach empowers you to take an active role in your own healing journey and establish new ways of coping.
Recognizing our own patterns and knowing ourselves helps us to find healthier ways to address our needs. We'll look at your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and beliefs systems (conscious and unconscious) that are driven by your early attachment experiences and learn how to process, heal, and move forward in life. I will integrate different techniques from CBT, ACT, DBT, and EMDR as appropriate.
If you yearn for a sense of control in a world that often feels overwhelming, take the first step toward liberation. Imagine the freedom of shedding burdens and worries, reconnecting with yourself, and embracing a life that aligns with your authentic self. I invite you to schedule a session and embark on this empowering journey of self-discovery and growth.
