Everyone has a story, and I make myself available in a safe and comfortable space to help you process your history, understand how it is impacting you today, and learn how to regain your sense of purpose through it all. I come from a “whole-person” approach, which means physical, mental, and spiritual health are all connected, and we can talk about one or all. My goal is to help you move through this process in a timely, but emotionally safe, manner, so you can flourish in your own space without me.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood and are not meant to navigate life's difficult paths alone. I believe we each have the innate capacity to heal, and I value and encourage the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, childhood abuse, trauma, grief, and PTSD. I work best with those who have the courage to want to get to know themselves at a deeper level. I support people in being curious about aspects of themselves that may have split off from the whole through rejection, trauma, overwhelming experiences, or lack of acceptance.

Compassion Focused Therapists
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.
