Are you noticing the incessant chatter in your mind? Do you worry about what other people think? Do your inner dialogue carry a lot of weight? Does it increase your anxiety and/or depression? Holding onto past events and is impacting your ability to stay present? Self-aware enough to notice your polarity/incongruency? Would you like to take back control of that incessant chatter and have it work for you? Well, you might be at the right place. I help individuals increase their awareness of their thought patterns and how it has been impacting their daily lives. Our mind tends to have a motor of its own and it likes to keep going and going, I’m here to help increase self-awareness and to help tame that chatter so that it can work for you rather than work against you.
Our sessions may typically feel like a creative project of disentanglement…My approach is humanistic and person-centered which for me, means that I will move and flow with you as a witness; I will point out things I notice or stick out to me; I will provide you with some psychoeducation, along with some skills to practice. It will be a co-collaboration between us, exploring your thought process, exploring your anxiety, exploring your depression. Expect a lot of compassionate questioning and curious ponders from me to help increase your self-awareness.
The short and sweet? I use DBT and ACT skills to mindfully ground and manage overwhelming symptoms while using IFS to heal the inner parts. Oh, want a little more detail? 😊 I utilize DBT [Dialectical Behavioral Therapy] to help increase awareness around how our thoughts, behavior and emotions impact each other; ACT [Acceptance and Commitment Therapy] to work on accepting the situation and the state of mind and to work on committing to what the next steps could be. Finally, IFS [Internal Family System] to heal our inner wounds; integrating all parts of us, back into one united Self.
I believe that you are the expert of your life and you know yourself the best; after all, you are the only one who spends 24/7 with yourself. I am just here to co-create with you and explore what helps you; shine some light on your blind spots; and help you recognize you are not your thoughts. Helping you take back your power.
