With a focus on chronic anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem/shame, the people I see tend to have had difficulty for years. I have found that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with an emphasis on Mindful Self-Compassion presents an opportunity to heal, live more fully, and more easily focus what matters most in life. Learning to understand the full "why" of being stuck often allows them to break the cycle and learn to change their relationship to themselves.
You are not a problem to be fixed. What if that internal voice isn't the "truth", just an old wound that never got to heal? What if it just needs to be understood?
Maybe you've been hurt and spent years working around it and you have tried many ways to feel better.
I want to offer you an opportunity to explore how to not only get unstuck, but to identify and live your life closer to what you truly value.
We start with where you are. Whatever you bring is enough.
What you'll get from me is a real conversation, warm, honest, and collaborative. Your exploration leads the way and I can offer some ideas to learn to understand yourself by seeing and feeling the entire picture - connected. We will explore what works for you. If that sounds like a therapy experience you would be interested in, I'd love to meet you.
