Talk Therapy

Something is wrong.

You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are professionally. And you appear “very put together” on the outside.

But inside, you feel broken, and there is a constant simmering of anxiety in your body.

You’re not quite sure where it’s coming from, but you want it to stop!

Constantly striving to do more and be better, you would just like to be appreciated by others for your efforts, but they don’t.

You have an inner critic on duty 24/7, and those voices keep telling you, “You aren’t good enough,” “you are not in control”, which keeps you sad and edgy.

You have painful memories that haunt you at night. There is a tightness in your throat, and your body constantly feels weighed down.

You’ve come to the right place.

It can be hard to talk about these things with friends or family.

It’s hard to be vulnerable – to show who you are.

And your emotional bonds with your children, family, and friends suffer when you build walls in your relationships.

Talk therapy is a nonjudgmental, compassionate space to explore what isn’t working.

I can’t promise it will be easy, but…

I promise to listen to you with a full heart and empower you to achieve your goals.

Collaboration

From problems at work or children who won’t go to school to complicated relationships, I am always ready to work with you to come up with solutions that feel right for you! I will listen, make suggestions, and provide resources as needed. There is no rush as we explore and collaborate; the focus is on what you need in session at that time.

Introspection

After listening to your concern in session, I might ask you to take a moment and check in with yourself about what you want to happen or how you feel about it. This often leads you to your answer or brings up new insight we can explore. I might also ask you why you believe something is true and question whether you have any evidence. From there, we can discuss if that is your automatic assumption or a real fact.

Communication Skills

Loving communication is the foundation of healthy relationships with partners and families. Ignoring, shutting down, and yelling increase the tension and create distance in those relationships.

Through role-play, I will show you appropriate ways to listen, express your feelings, and communicate your needs so that you can reconnect with your loved ones.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Negative assumptions about yourself lead to a distorted self-perception. And the more we think about those false, negative assumptions, the bigger they get. In time, irrational beliefs can influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors!

I’ll help you weigh the evidence to see if your thoughts are true, giving you a more realistic, balanced perspective and making you feel much better.
