In therapy, I offer psychoeducation that helps you better understand how the brain works and how we can modify the thoughts we endorse to break maladaptive habits and promote healthier ones. Through various exercises, your brain has the opportunity to practice identifying cognitive distortions that keep you in a prison of self-doubt, and you’ll learn how to challenge and replace self-sabotaging thinking. While doing this, you are changing your relationship with anxiety and learning how to effectively manage it.

Additionally, I model and guide you through body awareness exercises to enhance self-awareness to help you be present with difficult sensations and find ways to naturally release them. These activities help to rebalance neural networks and help one gain an increased level of self-awareness. By doing this, you are better able to practice self-compassion and let go of unnecessary self-criticism and anxiety.
