I find therapy can be a branch that reaches in, something strong you use to pull yourself from a harsh inner world to more solid ground. If you feel overwhelmed or raw, what you're experiencing isn't a problem with who you are. Plenty is rough in this world. Add in factors like your history, systemic barriers, learned habits, vulnerabilities, traumas, or feelings that overwhelm your capacities right now - it can be hard as fk. The hopeful news is, you can change your experience, a lot: gain understanding and fuel and skill, interrupt patterns, create your solid ground, and move in a direction that's in line with what matters to you.
I use Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) as framework, involving DBT, CPT, music therapy or other tools as fits. We help you to build awareness as a skill, draw strength from your priorities, and practice learning from yourself about what you need. I often help with intense emotions, anxiety, self-destructive experiences, PTSD, or body shame/eating disorders.
Most folks see me for talk therapy only, collaborating to understand & build skills for what you're up against. I also provide music therapy, which can support verbal therapy. Music listening, music making, or your existing relationship with music can be part of how you build a life where you feel strong, where you feel safe, and where you feel like you.
