GROWING INTO BETTER

Helping others grow into who they want to be. —Ben Mosher
Transforming life with
mindful practices
Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. —Carl Jung
my Approach
It all begins with a struggle, and you need guidance. You may want to turn your life into something more or enhance your ability to share yourself with the world. Whatever it is, how you approach life’s hurdles can make all the difference. I use evidence-based techniques, often from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. In our first session, we will work together to identify what brought you to therapy. I will share my initial recommendation on what techniques I believe will best help you grow from where you are to where you want to be.
Dream it
Don't stress about how you come across in therapy—just be yourself. We all face challenges, but it's your story that sets you apart from everyone else.
Build it
Be clear, be confident and be yourself. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and you can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does with the tools we can establish as your mental health support team.
