my Services…
help you struggle less with your unwanted thoughts and feelings so you can bring your whole self forward and pursue what matters most to you.
If you’re ready to:
let go
Let go of old, unhelpful coping behaviors that provide you relief but also interfere with building and living a meaningful life?
learn
Learn new ways to respond to your thoughts and feelings?
experiment
Experiment with those new ways between sessions?
Then our work will be different
More than traditional talk therapy
Rather than talking about the importance of staying present, for example, I ensure you know what that feels like in your body and mind and how to take our work into your real life.
We focus on what you think, feel, and do
Rather than challenging your difficult thoughts and unwanted feelings, you learn new ways to respond to them. You struggle less on the inside and do more life-enhancing things on the outside.
You will see yourself differently
My psychotherapeutic, scientific, and public health background help you see how you’re influenced by complex cellular processes, an innate drive to belong, and powerful social influences. This view opens you up to genuine self-compassion.
You will learn science-based strategies
Some stuff we do might seem a little “woo woo,” but rest assured, it all comes from evidence-based approaches known to ease human suffering (i.e., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and clinical Relational Frame Theory). Learn more at contextualscience.org.
