UNraveling

limiting behaviors.

Change your thinking.
Change your World.

From my experienc, as a psychotherapist, working with teens and adults facing seemingly intractable issues, the capacity for change is available to everyone.

In our work together, I will share with you the science of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and how our mind, body, and emotions create our behaviors. I will explore with you how this information can be used in practical and creative ways to empower you in life.

YOU WILL

Learn how to shift from fear and avoidance to tolerating discomfort with greater ease.
See more options and opportunities.
Be able to distinguish real problems from worry thinking.
Feel more confident as you master managing your thoughts, feelings and behavior.
Experience more engagement with the life you want.
Build lifelong skills that support your growth.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) offers a way for you to claim power over worry thinking replacing it with thoughtful thinking. This shift slows down reactive behaviors allowing time to consider a more creative and effective response.

Become the Expert of You.

To live a fully human life, whatever our age, we experience a wide range of feelings. The most uncomfortable feelings are like the ones that get you tangled up and stuck in limiting behavior patterns. These patterns can lead to avoidance behavior that can make your life small, confusing, and stuck in unproductive worry thinking.

My goal in our work together is to help you unravel your limiting behaviors by arming you with information, understanding, and opportunities to reflect, explore, and practice how to be the EXPERT of YOU.

In our work together, I WILL:

Listen deeply to learn about your inner and outer world.
Introduce you to new ways of thinking about what limits your life.
Invite you over and over again to engage using your curiosity to challenge your reality.
Encourage non-judgmental exploration.
Be candid and real to advance your progress at your pace.
Be there to celebrate when you discover new ways forward.

How we will UNravel your limiting beliefs.

Recognize your thinking patterns.
Name your limiting behavior.
Reframe how you think about it.
Learn how to hangout with your emotions with more ease.
Explore how to engage your world in new ways.
Have fun in the process.

"I began working with Donna for anxiety when I was in high school. Over the past several years, she has been an incredible resource for both myself and my family through periods of transition and change. With her help, I learn so much about myself and my anxiety. I will always be grateful for her hand in the growth I’ve experienced."
