Liberty Psychological Services

My therapy style: I want to know how anxiety fuels vicious cycles in your life. Anxiety is uncomfortable, and you try to avoid it. Avoidance, however, produces emotional upset and the cycle continues. The therapy relationship can help you break these cycles. We focus on our interactions instead of guessing at the intentions of others in your life. This style promotes a brand of self-reflection that you simply can't enact on your own or with friends or family. We use wordplay, metaphors, symbolism, dreams, storytelling, and social feedback from me to help you see your life from new angles. Throughout, I teach you the meaning of anxiety and show you how to harness its power. This style is interactive; I take you and your progress seriously and I am not afraid to challenge. The goal? To develop a better understanding of why you approach the world the way that you do. This self-knowledge can produce flexibility in coping and in relating to others.

Between sessions, I think about our next steps and how I can help you get the most out of treatment. You are my focus. As part of my fee I offer visual and written learning tools that I develop and tailor to your needs. The 'Going Toward' pamphlet, which can be found on the homepage and the Psychotherapy page, is an example of this. Care coordination services (speaking with your psychiatrist, physician, loved ones) are also included in my fee. These enhance our collaboration in therapy and the effectiveness of our work.

Other services: Presenting, speaking, and consulting for groups who wish to learn more about my approach to treatment and my unique outlook on anxiety and emotion management. I love providing a glimpse into the therapy and coaching world while offering refreshing views on common psychological concerns such as anxiety, emotion regulation, relationships and communication, and chronic pain.
