When you are suffering from depression, anxiety or OCD, sometimes it seems like there is no way out.

Often there are underlying core negative beliefs about ourselves and the world which are the root of our suffering. When these thoughts are triggered, they immediately impact our physiology leading to feelings of powerlessness, desperation, fear, guilt, shame and sadness.

I use cognitive therapy techniques to help us identify these negative thought patterns, challenge them and develop alternative healthier thoughts which in turn prevent the cycle into depression and anxiety.

I work with behavioral therapy to identify triggers in your life for feeling bad and those that help you feel better – these include nutrition, exercise, sleep patterns, lifestyle, daily routine as well as learning meditation techniques and other mindfulness exercises to promote relaxation and wellbeing.

I integrate mindfulness and DBT, working with you through compassionate listening to create an empathic space which also challenges you to make concrete changes in your patterns, thoughts and behaviors.
