The paradoxical theory of change says that "change happens when a person becomes what they are, not when they try to become what they are not.” I guide my clients to the mirror and help them to squarely face themselves- their strengths, weaknesses, past traumas and future hopes- and know that they are good enough. From that place of self-compassion we can determine the right tools to support you as you set off on a life path that deeply motivates and satisfies you.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients and others who have been impacted by marginalization, including those with chronic mental health conditions. My focus on compassionate self-awareness can help you develop a strong, positive sense of self, which leads to a natural desire and increased capacity to care for yourself and your community.
You have waited long enough to start addressing your pain. It will take time and effort, but I am excited to help you untangle the knots. As someone who has been there myself, I can assure you it is worth it.
