I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and believe that the way we talk to ourselves will determine how we feel and act. I want to know what you believe about yourself and how you feel about others and help you adjust your unhealthy thinking and replace your unhealthy acting out behaviors. With that, it is important to know your story and how your early life influenced these thoughts and beliefs, so I also use psychodynamic. I explore the unresolved issues that have contributed to unhealthy relationship patterns, self-destructive behaviors and poor self-worth so that the wounds of the past can be healed, and so you can be for yourself what you needed/need. I believe people act out and regress to the wounded part of themselves when their needs aren't met, and it's important to help them with getting their needs met and teaching them the skills to manage the behaviors that are causing the problems for them. Lastly, life is hard. Sometimes people just need a space to say things out loud to another person to get perspective and validation that they aren't crazy, life is just hard.
