About My Clients
Shame affects all ages but can be devastating during adolescence and young adulthood. My passion is to walk alongside teens and young adults struggling with shame and offer them a safe space to be seen and heard without judgment. I meet each person with compassion and help them unpack and process what's underneath the shame in order to heal.
My Background and Approach
I work with shame because it's something we all experience. We experience it when we don't feel enough, feel we're too much, or feel like no one gets us. We experience shame because we believe something is wrong with us. We try to cover up and hide even though we desperately long to be seen, known, and loved. Shame thrives on secrecy. There is a risk that if we open ourselves up to others then we'll be judged and criticized, which can lead to more shame. But I believe the remedy to shame is vulnerability met with compassion and acceptance.
