Pain is a part of life, but feeling like you're alone in your suffering shouldn't have to be. My goal is to make sure that no matter what you are going through, that you do not feel alone in your struggle. I use a client-centered approach in my therapy and draw from a blend of mindfulness, relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, social justice-oriented, and person-centered approaches. I use Brainspotting as a way to provide relief for severe trauma symptoms. Together I believe that we can collaborate in your growth and healing journey to bring you to a place of peace and joy.

During difficult moments, when stress and overwhelming emotions seem to consume us, therapy serves as a valuable resource. It helps alleviate the pressure, soothe emotional distress, and carve out internal space to navigate these challenging experiences. Within the compassionate confines of therapy, these difficulties can be transformed into opportunities for personal growth, heightened self-awareness, acceptance, and a deeper sense of purpose. As a result, everyday life becomes more manageable, fulfilling, and harmonious.

We all have times in our lives that carry burden, darkness and pain. We can be held back by fears, limiting beliefs and attempted distractions that over time have lost their luster, and ultimately impact the quality of our connection to ourselves and others. It is often the bravest thing we can do to take a stand and be willing to own our story. A collaborative therapeutic setting creates a safe and nonjudmental space to harness curiosity, empathy, awareness, and a more integrated connection to the Self, thus opening new pathways to personal healing and growth. I consider it a privilege to be a support to you in this journey.

People come to me for many reasons. For some, they are overall doing well in their life, but feel that there's something going on inside that's keeping them from reaching their full potential and finding true happiness and fulfillment. Others are actively experiencing challenges in their life and are open to receiving support, while still others are in real pain, and are looking for relief and help with that.

How does compassion-focused therapy work?

Compassion-Focused Therapy is based on the idea that humans have at least three emotion regulation systems, including one that responds to threats and another that allows us to self-soothe. Those who experienced serious childhood adversity, the theory goes, have a hyperactive threat system and an underperforming self-soothing system, leaving them vulnerable to shame and a hypercritical mindset. CFT focuses on bringing these systems back into balance, helping the client be kinder to themselves and better able to accept kindness from others.

Is compassion-focused therapy a type of CBT?

Compassion-focused therapy is closely related to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and employs many of its techniques. In addition to CBT, CFT also draws from the fields of biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, and Buddhism. It also has similarities to some types of trauma-focused therapies.

Is compassion-focused therapy evidence based?

Evidence suggests that CFT can be helpful in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, psychosis, and other mental illnesses. It has also been shown to be beneficial for individuals who may not have diagnosable psychiatric disorders but who still struggle with persistent self-criticism and feelings of shame.

What are the limitations of compassion-focused therapy?

Compassion-focused therapy is still a relatively new therapy, and research on its efficacy is still in its early stages; while some studies have found positive results, many have suffered from quality issues or small sample sizes. And while most CFT clients find it difficult to practice self-compassion at first, some—especially those who actively fear compassion or are deeply uncomfortable being cared for—may not be fully open to the tenets of CFT, potentially limiting the therapy’s long-term effectiveness.
