I draw from a variety of evidence based therapeutic modalities which in the “real world” this means:
developing greater awareness of emotions an thoughts and how they impact your life
setting and reaching goals, out of self compassion and not because you’re broken
reducing guilt and shame to find clarity about what truly matters to you
naming, noticing and letting go of self-critical, destructive thinking
improving relationships with compassionate connection and clear boundaries
easing symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression
Working collaboratively, you discover new, more sustainable ways of coping that come from your own awareness and experiences. You decide what is and is not working for you, you define progress and you develop a sense of self that is cohesive and true for you. I want you to give me feedback, tell me what is and isn’t working so that we can properly celebrate progress and explore setbacks with curiosity and compassion. I situate human struggles within systems of power, social constructs and the believe that we want to fulfill our potential, at any age.
