let’s look closely at what brings you to therapy
Seeing what is truly troubling you, and gaining clarity on your options,
Let’s do that Together.
It may look something like this:
Look at the whole of your situation, explore the challenges, patterns, and feelings that are present.
Put all of your thoughts and emotions on the table. Nothing is off-limits; this is your space.
Choose actions aligned with what you love and care about most. Focus on steps that honor your values and priorities.
Take the first step, start small, but move toward change with confidence and support.
Therapeutic Approach:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - A descendant of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ACT is guided by two key principles: acceptance, seeing things as they are and commitment, connecting with what matters most to you. Each of us has unique circumstances and values, and taking steps toward those values becomes the motivation to move past habits and behaviors that keep us stuck.
Mindfulness - This is the practice of presence, noticing what’s happening right now. Meditation isn’t the only way to practice; we’ll explore techniques that work for you, helping you fully observe your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. This awareness becomes the foundation for living more intentionally and present in your daily life.
Assertiveness - Once we identify what you truly care about, the next step is learning to express it. Assertiveness is about communicating your desires, boundaries, and choices clearly, directly, and kindly so you can move through life with confidence and authenticity.
together, we will:
explore
The stories you tell yourself about the meaning of your thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences.
uncover
The real barriers hidden within those stories and how they may be holding you back from creating a new, more empowering narrative.
Regain
A genuine sense of connection to the people, activities, and values that matter most to you.
