My Approach to Helping
Repetitive dysfunctional patterns of behavior may be affecting your relationships, your job, and certainly your overall self-esteem. Our work together is to first help you find and understand "why" you do certain negative things, or become overly self-critical. I will expose you to effective tools to change the behaviors and patterns that are hindering you, and keeping you from the confidence you'd like to feel about and to your life. By explorating the "why am I the way that I am" questions, I will explore with you toward finding what's been holding you back. In this process, I will provide helpful tools so that your "inner critic" or "inner demons" can be understood, and then managed more healthfully. Together, you will learn to deal with, cope, and place these self-critical elements in their proper perspective going forward. I will introduce you to the helpful elements of CBTDBT and Psychodynamic tools, all with the goal being to help you broaden your own perspective. This is how real changes can then manifest.
I have a well-rounded understanding of the complexities involved in navigating very different worlds. I have owned and operated businesses. I've worked creatively, as both a professional actor and writer in the entertainment industry.
I have a deep passion toward helping others shift out of, and away from, long-standing negative patterns of behavior that have gotten in your way. Working safely together, we will examine what these patterns have been for you and why, with the ultimate goal of realizing you have new choices, leading you toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
