Do you struggle with self compassion or allowing yourself to feel emotions? I empower individuals to better understand their emotions and treat themselves with patience and kindness. Together we can work on identifying barriers that make it difficult to sit with your emotions and observe them without judgment. I will be utilizing DBT and mindfulness to help you increase self esteem and gain new skills to manage stress. What is most important for you to address in therapy? Let’s have a session to discuss your treatment goals and begin working on these! I am excited to speak with you.
In the first session, we will focus on introductions and setting a treatment plan of goals to work on. We will review your completed intake paperwork and I may have additional questions to ask you. This is a time for us to explore the possibilities in what therapies may be most beneficial for you that I can offer.
I feel my biggest strengths are working with clients who struggle with anxiety/intrusive thoughts/judgment/self compassion. I will use numerous treatment methods to help you challenge any thoughts that are holding you back from reaching your goals! I will always approach client history with compassion and care.
I am focused on treating adults with many different diagnoses. My previous work has focused on anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.

I utilize compassion focused therapy to help create meaningful sessions surrounding the ability to grow in loving oneself.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize DBT to help clients integrate skills of mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness into their daily lives to enhance feelings of control over thoughts/emotions/behavior.
EMDR
I utilize EMDR to guide the processing of past memories. In processing, the brain wants to heal itself by changing memory from maladaptive to adaptive. This can provide relief and challenge perspective about experiences and how they relate to our negative core beliefs.

She is so informative. She gave me some things to work on over the next week about my emotions and state of mnd. I really appreciate being able to feel safe, non-judge, understood and listened to, even a soultion that I can try to work out within myself! I wouldn't change Lydia for the world. I feel she is a "God Send" Much appreciate our sessions!

I wanted to check every box for Lydia. She's solution oriented. Highly intelligent. I cannot say enough good things about our 1st session. I feel hopeful. Thank you so much!

Very friendly, kind, easy to talk to. She never has some type of "agenda." I love her warm therapeutic approach. She is always so validating but will also gently let you know if you're off-base with something.
