It is essential that therapists are competent and have evidence-based ideas on how to get from A to B, but therapy at its best is a collaborative relationship. A safe space of non-judgment and curiosity. My stance is non-pathologizing. One of profound respect for every person and a belief that they already hold, and have always held, the key to their own growth and well-being. Personal experience with non-ordinary states and Internal Family Systems therapy has deepened my commitment to assist my clients in accessing this intrinsic inner-healing wisdom and ultimately live more courageously and authentically.

I believe that if you are seeking help now, then you have made the first step onto the road of recovery. The process of change can be very different for everyone, and I tailor my approach to wherever you are in your journey. My approach is goal directed, yet patient and empathic. I strive to help those motivated for change begin to find their true path in life. I also identify a more holistic/integrative approach to therapy, by looking at how mental health impacts the whole person (mind, body, soul). My practice will eventually expand to offer behavioral health with holistic wellness techniques and services.

I have been a therapist for many years. Therapy, I feel, begins with a relationship, and before someone leaves my office for the first time, I would like them to feel that they are understood and cared for. Very often, people feel overwhelmed in their marriage, , their other relationships, or their life at work. I try to tune in to their current discomfort quickly and give them the idea that we can work together to improve their life.

Bipolar Disorder Therapists

What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.

What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?

Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.

What kinds of problems does therapy help with?

Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.

What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?

Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
