Trust in your self worth
Most therapy focuses on managing the symptoms of anxiety—breathing exercises, thought logs, and distractions. While these have their place, they often feel like putting a band-aid on a structural leak.
My approach goes “under the hood.” Influenced by Psychodynamic theory and Control Mastery, I work with you to:
Identify the Unconscious “Scripts”: We all have old rules we live by (e.g., “If I’m not productive, I’m not safe” or “If I show weakness, I’ll be rejected”).
Process emotions: Emotions that have not been identified and named, unconsciously weigh on us to make meaning of them.
Test the Roadblocks: We create a relationship where you can safely “test” these old beliefs. When your brain realizes these old rules no longer apply, the anxiety naturally begins to dissipate.
The “Pro-Plan” Environment: I don’t just sit and listen. I am an active collaborator in your “unconscious plan” to get better. We work together to remove the obstacles preventing you from feeling grounded.
