I will help you through healing, improving, achieving goals, and finding purpose in life. I'm here to assist you in developing skills that will improve your ability to be mindful, regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and be effective in your relationships. Learning these skills builds confidence, and assurance of self, and opens alternatives to getting out of the immediate stuck patterns. As your therapist, I help you to learn and practice these skills. To help ignite motivation, we will use music, art, poetry, and writing.
