Compassion Focused Therapists in 05404

My approach to therapy is founded on two core beliefs: everyone has a story to tell and everyone's story is worth being heard. I provide a safe space by offering a warm, person-centered approach that places you as the expert of your life, because you are! When working together, you can expect to discover your strengths and resources, explore your past in a meaningful and safe way, challenge unhelpful thoughts or messages you've received, and figure out what YOU want to do with them. Because at the end of the day, this is your journey and you deserve to have the first and last say in it.

You may be feeling stuck, lost, or confused. You may be struggling in your relationships or feeling overwhelmed with trying to manage worry, stress, and challenges in your life.

My practice is rooted in building a strong therapeutic connection through deep listening and empathy, collaboration, and honesty. I strive to create a safe environment for you to be seen, heard, and to receive help.

Is their a dullness in your current existence? A feeling that wasn't their before the pandemic? When change occurs as rapidly as it has in our society, the mind and body remain alert. It's not surprising you have lost that vitality and energy you used to have. Self care, and regulating our emotions has so much to do with support, connection to ourselves and others.

I entered my doctoral program in counseling psychology with the aim of integrating what I had already learned through study of meditation and Buddhist practice with the technology of Western concepts of wellness and health. I came out with a deep appreciation for the many ways that people arrive at a counselor's door and the many ways they leave. Throughout our lives we constantly face new challenges, leaving home, coupling, parenting, careering, retiring all present challenges we've never faced before. At any point along the way we may be called on to marshal new resources or adapt old strategies that are no longer working.
