We often come to therapy wanting to feel better, perhaps to change old patterns that don’t align with the vision we have for our lives. Anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, or personality disruption, difficulty in relationships and addiction are symptoms arising from deeper core (shame-based) wounds. These problematic symptoms surface as a way to cover up painful, enmeshed emotions that are unseen and unheard. I therefore aim to go to the source not the symptom: I specialize in emotion, in building self-compassion, and addressing toxic shame.
We develop problems when we protect painful unprocessed emotions. Covering up wounds with behaviour ultimately only deepens our shame, leaving us stuck in the cycle we wish to escape. It is my job to guide you in aligning with your true self — that part of you that seeks healing, joy, and wellness.
We will get curious about your values. I do not pathologize behaviour. We explore relationships within self, to understand, witness, and bring change. Self-acceptance is the foundation for happiness and love of others. Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method Level 1 (couples therapy), DBT, EFT, and meditation are my primary therapeutic modalities.
