Sometimes having compassion for ourselves is much harder than extending compassion to others. It’s difficult when we are dealing with thoughts that convince us we are broken or stuck, or when we are facing issues that seem larger than us, issues that appear beyond what our personal power can handle. Along with these thoughts of uncertainty come feelings such as anxiety, sadness, shame, and grief, all of which we struggle to avoid. This can make living a valued existence appear difficult or impossible. Yet it is. You don’t need to go it alone. I can see that power within you, even if you are unable to see this in yourself.
I work to help you uncover the rich and meaningful existence you desire. I believe you are the ultimate expert in this and view my role as a collaborative ally, helping you identify your passions and personal values, and helping you build that path toward living a life worth living with increased acceptance of self and mindfulness-based awareness.
I'm sure you have tried a lot of things in your effort to move away from your struggles. It takes courage to make the step toward doing it again. Everyone deserves a space to explore their struggles in a caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. I am committed to helping you live and feel more effectively, passionately, and authentically.
