Self acceptance, insight and change. Those are the three main goals of therapy. I first have to accept where I am and who I am in life. Second I need to develop an understanding of how am I am contributing to these repeated patterns or am I being resistant to taking ownership, and lastly doing something different, even if it is scary or uncomfortable. If you find yourself stuck in this pattern, I would be happy to help discover what is getting in your way of acceptance, insight, and change. I have worked in the field for over 25 years and feel my experience and my training in CBT, ACT, and DBT can help you begin to move forward. It is so hard and scary sometimes to learn how to accept yourself where you are at and even acknowledge some of things you are doing or not doing to keep yourself stuck. I offer a great deal of understanding, humor, and just the right amount of directness to help guide you in this process. I enjoy working with teens, couples, and individuals.
