We'll start wherever you are and work together to get you to where you want to be, focusing on your own values and goals, not anyone else's. My focus as a therapist is on mental health, not mental illness.
Work through identifying and processing thoughts, emotions, interpersonal patterns; evaluate how those patterns are/are not serving you; make intentional choices for what you want your life to look like while relieving symptoms getting in the way.
