Those who tend to enjoy my approach are individual adults (18+) who are committed to self exploration, challenging past patterns, and personal growth. My practice focuses on people with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety that may stem from: lack of identity development (who am I?); adjusting to life changes–such as, going to college, career challenges, coming out, partnering/divorce, death of a loved one, mid-life crisis, retirement, empty nest; relationship conflicts–work or personal; past trauma; poor attachment to childhood caregivers; or experiences as part of a marginalized group (i.e. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, immigrants).

I work with adults with illness, disability, or going through life transitions to develop strategies to address relationships, intimacy, connection, sexual wellness, pelvic health, sexuality and gender expression. I'm passionate about the area of sexuality and intimacy as it intersects with illness and disability. Sex is an activity of daily living and I believe that sex, sexuality, gender expression, and creating intimate and loving connections are meaningful occupations. I'm trained in the biopsychosocial model and I analyze the larger picture of physical, mental, cognitive, sensory, social, and environmental contexts.

This “being human thing” is hard, and often feels uncomfortable. Sometimes the “uncomfortable” is experienced internally, sometimes externally, and sometimes both. This is a result of our actual or perceived response to the past, present, or future. Our work together will be focused on helping you to be “uncomfortable on purpose,” through identifying your values, increasing your capacity to tolerate uncertainty, processing what has maintained your current ways of living, and learning how to engage with yourself and others in a way that makes this “being human thing” a little bit easier.

Have you ever noticed yourself feeling trapped in a situation, looking for something to help you escape and distract yourself? Or found yourself wanting to change a behavior or routine because that pattern no longer works for you? Maybe a little of both? We often find ourselves feeling stuck in life, wishing that we could change something about ourselves, our situation, or our environment. We look for solutions and sometimes find that we don’t have everything we need to make the change, that it’s not the right time, or that we don’t have as much control over the situation as we would like.

Lets explore new ways of staying connected and engaged in the here and now. All of my work is infused with Compassion (karuna) and Loving Kindness (metta).

At their core, most psychological and behavioral issues are issues of perception and attention, rather than issues of insight and understanding (The Body Keeps the Score). Implicit beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, feelings, intentions, memories, and images affect how you live and relate to your needs in either supportive or non-supportive ways. Liberate yourself from chronic patterns by accessing and re-informing the unconscious material which shapes your present experiences and relationships.

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.
