What does a first session with you look like?

Most people I treat have anxiety, panic, depression, lack of motivation, PTSD, trauma history, fear or abandonment, rejection, being seen as a fraud, a failure, and not feeling worthy or good enough. Self-regulation helps reduce and stop many of these beliefs and feelings. If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, panic, fear, worry and concern, or suicidal ideations (FLIGHT). Feeling frustration, irritation, anger, rage, homicidal ideations (FIGHT) Felling Helplessness, Depression, Disassociation, numbness, shame, shut-down, hopelessness, prepared for death, trapped (FREEZE) These symptoms are often indicators your body is not self-regulated and your survival response has been activated. I know that by becoming a "wet noodle in your muscle body" you will train yourself to deactivate your survival response in situation in which you are not in actual danger. The actual danger would be getting chased by a lioness!! Then let's begin emotional processing throughout our time together in a regulated body so that we can make real progress.

What is your style/approach to therapy?

I utilize classical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, and sprinkle in some somatic, solution-focused, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strengths based approaches as well. I tend to focus on self regulation throughout treatment. The techniques of self regulation alone can often resolve many issues people are facing at their core level simply by using these techniques on a regular basis. IMPORTANT!! The videos I have attached below are on self-regulation. Even if I am not the right fit for you, maybe sharing this new skill can change your life or someone you care about profoundly. https://youtu.be/a-75W_7sV7Y Tools for Hope (Part II): Self-Regulation (start here) https://youtu.be/yS2XWxwKPrE Tools for Hope (Part I): Perceived Threat & The ANS
