Bipolar

Studies show that talk therapy, in conjunction with medication, can greatly improve the lives of individuals with bipolar disorder. I specialize in navigating both the highs and lows of bipolar disorder.

I help my client know basic causes, symptoms and effective ways to cope with bipolar and live a meaningful life.

Bipolar disorder can lead to abrupt mood shifts that can be difficult to manage and lead to impulsive choices, psychosis, challenged relationships, etc. There are therapeutic techniques we can engage in together to help bring about increased awareness of how lifestyle and mood are intertwined for you personally and identify areas for adjustment. Through processing in therapy, we can work together toward a greater sense of balance - both internally and externally.

Bipolar can be treated with several therapies. Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy uses tracking, social interaction, and circadian rhythms to keep you stable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be really effective for depression. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help resolve any trauma, such as hospitalizations and embarrassing memories. Mindfulness and education round out the treatment.

In addition to medication management, helping client's increase mindful awareness of their moment-to-moment thoughts, feelings, and internal sensations, as well as deviations, is key to successfully managing the bipolar experience. Using a variety of DBT and ACT skills, I can help you overcome the overwhelm with effective skills-based coping and support. Commonly, many people working with bipolar symptoms also have significant trauma histories that we can also address with EMDR and IFS therapy.

I have worked with people with Bipolar Disorders for 3 years and believe a collaborative approach towards a treatment plan works best.

I have continued to work with those with dipolar disorder. I have personal experience with dipolar and it has given me a greater understanding of the symptoms and treatment tools.

Bipolar mood swings can be frightening. One week you may feel depressed, unmotivated even suicidal. Then you surge into a whirlwind of high energy, racing thoughts, sleeplessness, and maybe you do things that you feel embarrassed about later, when you come down from the emotional high. And this leads to more depression, shame and guilt. It's exhausting! There's hope. People with bipolar disorder lead healthy, productive lives with proper diagnosis and treatment.

Being a dual diagnosis clinician, I have built specific skills to help patients of all ages challenge their mental health symptoms from bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression, among others. Working openly and honestly with patients they learn new techniques to manage their symptoms effectively.

Psychotherapy and psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy are all effective in supporting those living with Bipolar Disorder. Modalities I use include functional remediation and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

Bipolar disorder presents with high or low moods, described as mood swings. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgement, behavior and the ability to think clearly.

I specialize in working with individuals who experience bipolar disorder, providing tailored therapeutic support to help manage mood fluctuations, develop stability, and enhance overall well-being. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients recognize mood patterns, regulate emotions, and establish coping strategies.

I have several years of experience working as a therapist and during this time I treated clients diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I help clients learn to be more mindful in their shifts in mood and symptoms and develop a preventative self-care style to better manage their symptoms.
