You just realized that your old, tried and true coping skills are no longer cutting it and life is just getting to be too much. That old trauma that you carefully healed (or thought you did) is now wide open, and your anxiety, depression and panic attacks are back for good. Maybe it is not quite clear where to go from here, as you have been in therapy and it has helped a bit, but now things are at their worst. In our first session, I will introduce my approach and therapeutic philosophy, answer questions, and gain a better understanding of where you are currently and where you would like to be. I believe in working together and I heavily lean on creating a strong therapeutic relationship so that you feel supported when facing the hard and scary work of changing. Whether you are feeling stuck in repetitive patterns from childhood or dealing with recent trauma, I will show up for you. My approach is genuine, straightforward (sometimes a bit too direct), integrative, holistic, and relational. I prioritize developing trust and safety in our relationship and open and honest communication.
