Would you admit that you are your own worst critic? When you beat yourself up inside, it's difficult to find joy in your work and relationships. Finally softening towards yourself will free up energy for you to fulfill your goals. I use mindfulness and IFS (Internal Family Systems) strategies to help clients do deep and meaningful work in sessions. "I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side..." -Maya Angelou. When my clients begin to truly be a friend to themselves, they notice positive changes in many aspects of their lives.
I specialize in working with people who have the HSP trait (Highly Sensitive Person). People with this trait often feel overwhelmed, and there is a strong need to be heard by someone who really gets you. I also work with couples, guiding you to uncover the underlying issues within conflicts, fostering a deeper connection and a more fulfilling intimacy.
We will have our sessions over secure video, so you don't have to deal with traffic or carve out time to sit in a waiting room. Visit my website and reach out for a free consult about working together. I look forward to helping you navigate your healing journey.
