Therapy is a wonderful space to build resilience. Through cultivating awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, we can break unwanted patterns of avoidance, reactivity, or shutting down. Through replacing judgment with mindfulness and self-criticism with self-compassion, we gain a greater sense of agency. Through understanding ourselves within our biological, social, and historical context, we are reminded of a shared humanity.
I utilize a creative, compassionate, and collaborative approach to help clients process past experiences, deepen self-understanding, and clearly communicate their feelings and needs. Drawing from relational, compassion-focused, somatic, and parts work models, I support clients in uncovering their own innate capacity to heal and grow.
If you are feeling stuck, facing a life transition, or looking to connect to a greater sense of meaning and purpose, please reach out to learn more about working together.
