Being a therapist living with Bipolar Disorder
gives my clients a unique therapeutic experience...
...to talk openly about mania and depression
...in a way that allows people to feel normal
...instead of shameful, judged, guilty and labeled.
...that helps people develop their awareness of bipolar disorder
...tools to help prevent and respond to relapse
...discover ways to channel the experience into strengths and
abilities that enhance quality of life.
...to talk about fears, concerns and beliefs about medication
with someone who has been on it for over a decade.
...to have someone share the things no one without Bipolar Disorder
can or will say
...from a place of compassion, care, knowledge and empathy
...to feel understood, even when words can't express feelings.
...to mourn the loss...
...to not feel so alone.
I specialize in working with people living with Bipolar Disorder who choose to use medication as a resource for stability and are under the care of a psychiatrist.
