About My Clients

Do you find yourself exhausted as you try to navigate day to day life experiences perfectly? Or neglecting daily activities because you feel overwhelmed? Or withdrawing from people you care about? All the while trying to silence that inner voice that whispers-or yells-’not enough’? You do not have to stay trapped in these unhelpful and ineffective patterns! And you don’t have to escape on your own.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in working with adults who struggle with self-compassion, trauma, substance use, and healthy relationships using a collaborative and conversational approach to therapy, where you feel heard. My clients walk away from therapy with a better understanding of themselves, able to more skillfully engage in relationships, practice healthy self-care, and, ultimately, interacting with themselves in a compassionate way. For the past 8 years, my practice has been focused on creating a safe space for clients to feel comfortable sharing uncomfortable experiences and thoughts. In a non-judgmental space we explore how you arrived at this place and how to effectively engage in healthier patterns. You will develop the skills to extend grace for yourself, clear and vulnerable communication, and long-term recovery. You will leave our time together accepting yourself in your entirety and with the tools to navigate a variety of situations.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Living without self-compassion is incredibly hard-you are constantly engaging in an invisible internal battle for most of your experiences, which can leave you feel exhausted and discouraged. And worst, it can leave you feeling alone and isolated. I believe that you deserve to extend yourself grace, acceptance, and compassion and that you deserve to have someone validate your experiences and feelings. In doing the work myself, I understand the value of having someone to walk alongside you as learn how to embrace yourself for exactly who you are! And how freeing it is to live a compassionate internal life. In entering this space, you have already taken a hopeful step towards empowerment, healing, and self-compassion. I would love to be able to help you in the next steps of your journey. If you would like to see if we would be a good fit, please call or email to schedule a free 20 minute consultation. I hope to connect with you soon!
