About My Clients
When thinking about your problems do they almost seem to multiply? Almost everywhere we turn we can find suggestions, opinions, quick fixes, and somehow they never really touch the underlying issue. Our reaction to any perceived problem is usually to become very judgmental of ourselves and to go from one extreme to the other. But we can learn new patterns, new skills, and truly work with ourselves instead of against.
My Background and Approach
I have studied psychological research on self-compassion for the last five years. This perspective in counseling is extremely useful- relating to ourselves in a kinder way allows us to see ourselves more based in reality (instead of thinking of ourselves as worse than we are), keeps us engaging with our dreams even when it becomes challenging, and helps us see our mistakes and failures differently. Instead of feeling alone, unacceptable, or unworthy, we can see that actually to fail is an inevitable part of being a person and it connects us to all of humanity.
