Individual Therapy
I offer 50 minute sessions to adults who want therapy for anxiety, OCD, or life transitions. During our first few sessions, I will get to know you, the history of what you're struggling with, and relevant life history. You'll tell me your goals for therapy and we will design a treatment plan together. I will offer you skills to try, opportunities to practice the skills, and readings when appropriate.
Length of therapy will be up to you. For some people, a few months of skill development and practice, and they'll be on their way. With others, as trust builds while processing life events, even after symptoms have improved, that trust makes it possible to attend to older hurts and deeper issues. Either or any variant of the above is fine. You get to choose your own path.
Parent Coaching
Does your child struggle to engage in activities because of her anxiety? Does he constantly seek your reassurance that everything is ok? Whether or not your child is working with an individual therapist, there are strategies that you can implement to support him or her.
I offer 50 minute coaching sessions for parents of children who have anxiety or OCD. I'll give you a safe space to vent frustrations in order to rediscover your patience. I'll help you learn to validate your child's struggle while giving them a message of confidence. We will look for ways to reduce accommodations and help your child know they can do the things that scare them.
Creativity Coaching
Making art of any kind or showing one's creativity in any form involves risk-taking. Being creative means being unique, not following the crowd, and standing out. It takes guts to do that. And that often causes anxiety. Since anxiety discourages risk-taking, it is the antithesis of the artistic impulse and causes shutting down, procrastination, creative blocks, even self-sabotage.
I offer 50 minute coaching sessions to anyone who needs help working through creative blocks and who needs accountability. I'll help you break down your big goals into smaller, surmountable tasks and help you learn to tolerate the mistakes and imperfection required for your art to grow.
