To all you Texas queerdos, weirdos, gamers, & outsiders, I challenge you to embrace & value your "other-ness." You may have been told you're wrong, strange, stupid, immature, selfish, etc. since you can first remember. You may think you need to constantly change yourself & what you're doing to please others - or even exist among others. You may feel you're too needy, high-maintenance, or [messed]-up compared to others around you. I see you. You don't have to keep relentlessly trying to make it on your own - this isn't a From Software game after all!

I specialize in treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder self-esteem issues, dysfunctional relationship patterns, boundary issues, and a variety of other issues. I utilize Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Rational Emotoive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Both of these modalities are evidence based and have been shown to be extremely effective. I know what it’s like to not be living the life you want because of these types of issues, but there is a different way. We can get there together.

My greatest strength is empathy, the ability to put myself in the shoes of my client to understand what they are feeling. Every brain is as unique as DNA, which means problems can present differently in people and can be triggered by different issues. I work with all ages, from children with ADHD to senior citizens with cognitive decline. Sometimes the client needs to build a toolbox, and other times, we can teach the brain new ways of processing information. It all depends on what issues you are dealing with in order to determine what solutions are available. I will guide you through what options are available for you to decide.

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.
