Shame expert, Brené Brown, puts it like this: “Shame loves secrecy. The most dangerous thing to do after a shaming experience is hide or bury our story. When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.” You’ve been holding onto shame stories, weighing you down and consuming you; it’s torture. Shame paves the way for depression and anxiety, terrorizing your relationships, work, and personal life. I know you’d like to feel lighter, freer, and more connected and accepting of yourself. Let’s get you there.

Most mental health symptoms can be traced back to trauma; it’s not what's wrong with you, but what has happened to you. When there is trauma, negative beliefs are created, inhibiting our ability to function fully, affecting the way we view ourselves, others, and the world we live in. We may feel that if we could just "push through" or bury our symptoms and memories, that is enough, until it isn't. In the beginning of therapy, we focus on symptom relief and stabilization with self-care, coping skills, psychoeducation, and boundary setting. This provides the foundation for processing and releasing the traumas.
