What's My Approach to Therapy?
What if I told you that:
Therapy can be common sense, practical and direct?
That we hold the answers for our own suffering within ourselves?
Learning to treat ourselves with kindness can help us to open up--even fearlessly embrace-- our own pain.
This can be your approach to change and help cease your struggle with anxiety, depression and all the: worries, discomfort, void and fear that come with it.
Benefits of Self-Compassion:
• Increased overall well-being
• Greater life satisfaction, self-worth, resilience and motivation
• Decreased anxiety, depression and fear of failure
• More social connection
• Less Burnout

My Therapy Focus
I'm a social worker who believes deeply in social justice, and in honoring the dignity and worth of every person I work with.
The perspectives that truly heal us often aren't the ones we were taught growing up and they're rarely reinforced by the world around us. In today's world, I believe we need mindful self-compassion and a deep connection to personal meaning more than ever.
Depression, anxiety, worry, shame, self-blame, and negative thoughts can be overwhelming. Many of us learn to cope by isolating, silencing our pain, or turning it inward. But there is another way.
Together, we can learn to reconnect with your humanity, identify what truly matters to you, and begin to open up to discomfort rather than run from it. This kind of shift can change how you relate to yourself and lay a strong foundation for emotional well-being.
If you're feeling lost, unsure of who you are, and overwhelmed by a harsh inner critic, this is a good place to start. And if you're ready to begin that journey, I'm here to walk beside you.
