The path to a life of peace, joy, and harmony lies ahead, and it's ok to need a little help in getting there. The foundation of my practice is based on two core principles: the importance of building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, and the belief that life's challenges provide an invaluable opportunity for personal growth. It takes courage to reach out for support and guidance, particularly if you’re going through a tough time; feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, having issues in your relationships, or if you're feeling ready to work through past traumas. Counseling can be transformative for these issues.

I love working with all kinds of people, individually, in families, and in groups. I was trained as a psychoanalyst and know the value of insight. But, over time I've found that when people feel warmly connected, difficulties fall away and life begins to open up. I feel fortunate in being able to work with people from varied ethnic and racial backgrounds, diverse relational and sexual orientations, and creative and professional worlds. I'm especially interested in working with those who suffer from 'invisible disabilities,' of mood, development, attention and learning and their loved ones.

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.
