It’s being afraid and doing it anyway. Thank you for having the courage to do the work. You are the expert on your life. Psychotherapy is about working collaboratively to help with the problems you want to address. Common concerns that I help with include anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues, and processing past trauma. My approach focuses on your strengths and combines them with new techniques to get past the “stuck points”. Some techniques I use include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). *** Currently accepting new clients for Thursday's and Saturdays. ***
