About My Clients
I work with clients who feel stuck, never feel like enough, and don't know how to approach everything they're facing. These client's often don't give themselves enough credit for all the things they are doing while facing so many stressors. These client's are typically overachievers, but don't often categorize themselves this way.
My Background and Approach
Working with clients, I utilize a compassion-focused and DBT approach. I believe that two seemingly opposing experiences or emotions can both be true, and I help clients move away from either/or thinking while approaching themselves with compassion. Together, we build an understanding of what this means in your life and explore how your current coping skills have helped you navigate past challenges. As life changes, the strategies that once worked may need to be expanded with new tools and skills. New phases of life often bring new challenges, and together we can develop the skills that help you meet them with confidence and self-compassion.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe each person deserves to recognize their potential and feel proud of themselves along the way. So often, we don’t allow ourselves to celebrate our wins because we’re constantly chasing the next bigger goal. When we haven’t reached that goal yet, it can feel like what we’ve accomplished isn’t worth celebrating. I believe there is so much empowerment in breaking this cycle, especially when it has been deeply ingrained in us. When we make space for our accomplishments, self-compassion, confidence, and pride can grow. Don’t get me wrong, it can feel uncomfortable at first. Recognizing your growth and practicing self-compassion may not be something you’re used to, and it takes time to build. I’m passionate about helping clients discover the compassion they already have within themselves and learn to respond to their inner critic with understanding, rather than letting it diminish their progress. You deserve to recognize how far you’ve come, not just how far you have left to go.
