How therapy works
You can learn to unhook from your anxiety so it stops controlling you.
I teach clients to get unhooked from emotions in order to behave in a way that is aligned with values, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (an evidenced-based approach that blends CBT and mindfulness). Grounded in the belief that emotions are not a problem, we will explore your reactions to emotions that cause unnecessary suffering. I help clients clarify their values and identify larger life goals or passions, so they can prioritize what really matters. I teach clients acceptance for emotions through mindfulness and thought defusion techniques. Together we will make a plan to master those difficult moments so you can be in control of your behavior.
