I invite you to pause. Take a slow breath, in and out. Let’s work together to cultivate compassion, acceptance, healing, and growth…
One of the hallmarks of mental health struggles is a feeling of being alone. The truth is, while you alone are the only one who fully knows and understands your own experience, you don’t have to go through this alone. Humans are relational beings. We benefit from sharing our stories with others. There is inherent relief in being seen, known, and accepted by another person. Unfortunately, sometimes it is hard to find a space free of judgement and shame, where compassion and loving-kindness lead they way. My goal in therapy is to offer this space for you. With this foundational compassionate space, we can rebuild together whatever parts of your life seem to be barren, wounded, or ruined.
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, addiction, emotional/physical/sexual abuse, and trauma. I provide trauma-informed care as a standard. Traumatic stress is often at the root of barriers in life, leaving clients feeling “stuck” and ashamed. Self-compassion is the antidote to shame that I actively seek to nourish using various treatment modalities.
