Currently accepting new clients! Sometimes life in general can feel overwhelming. This feeling can intensify if you also struggle with unprocessed trauma and/or feelings of low self-worth. My clients have either had a chaotic childhood or a single traumatic experience that has led to self-consciousness, self-sabotage or simply difficulty handling stress. They have so much compassion for others, yet struggle to turn it inward. Their coping strategies "make sense" but they struggle to believe in their own worth. The individuals I work with are hoping to find peace, stability and increased self-esteem.
My niche is childhood trauma & reparenting. I use a psychodynamic approach that targets unhelpful beliefs about yourself and negative coping behaviors based in childhood. With healthy doses of self-compassion and a nonjudgmental presence, I support my clients’ process of grief over lost experiences and help build confidence in being their authentic selves.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
