A big part of my therapeutic work is focused on increasing my clients' ability to treat themselves with compassion. I do this by helping to uncover unhelpful identity narratives and self-critical thinking patterns that have developed over time. Learning self-compassion can really enhance our ability to make positive changes in our lives because it creates room to be imperfect and still acknowledge small and large successes.
My style is very validating and warm. I keep things flexible because each client's life and preferences are different. Some clients want structure and goals, and some just want a sounding board where they can reflect on how their life is going.
Clients can expect to come away from working with me with more insight into their inner experience and new skills for managing thoughts and emotions. Additionally, they can expect to feel supported and to not feel judged for any struggle they are facing.
