John Lennon nailed it: “Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans.” Without warning we my find ourselves dealing with the loss of a relationship, a job, or a difficult diagnosis. Perhaps parenting, which used to be so easy, does not seem to be working. For others, years of carrying so much anxiety and stress has now become too heavy and is getting in the way. Possibly life itself has turned upside down, magnifying everything else to the point that it is just overwhelming. I get it and can offer support, skills and a path towards reclaiming your well-being and a life worth living. I embrace the importance of the link between the brain, heart and body, holding all our stress, trauma and emotional ‘truths’. Becoming aware without judgment or avoidance is essential for change. Tapping into DBT skills to strengthen Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance as well as Interpersonal Communication is powerful and effective. Each of you is unique as will be my approach based on your needs and goals. Having experienced the sudden loss of my own child, i learned first hand just how effective the skills of DBT can and continue to be in my own journey of healing. As upside down as this world is right now, these tools are even more valuable for all of us. Let’s talk.
