Therapists in N6A

Growing up, I just assumed everybody didn’t like themselves. I thought there were people that were open about not liking themselves, and then the rest of us pretending to like ourselves. It was the work I did in therapy that helped me learn there was this wild third option of “actually liking and appreciating myself”. Now I have the joy of sharing that with people as they learn they don’t have to feel so angry, worried, afraid, sad, or guilty all of the time.

Together we can get to know the various parts of you that are struggling and find out what you need for self understanding, resilient coping, self compassion, curiosity, calm, access to your creativity and helping you move from survival to thriving.
