I firmly believe that it is most important to create authentic connections with clients. Real healing only happens when both the client and the counselor can be their real selves. I work to create within therapy a genuine and safe space that is not always easy to find out in the world. I hope to help clients learn to create these safe places for themselves through improved life and relationship skills. My goals are the client’s goals as my client-centered approach leads me to seek a better understanding of the client’s worldview and how it interplays with their daily tasks and interactions with others.

I am a lifelong learner and I believe that the various difficulties we face as people are opportunities to learn, heal, and grow. In my counseling, I assist clients as they orient themselves to their situation and work alongside them to establish a path towards wellness. I may advise clients to complete inventories or seek medical treatment to facilitate their work and progress. I will approach individuals' religious/cultural differences and perspectives with curiosity and sensitivity. During counseling I may use Restoration Therapy, DBT skills, or EMDR to help clients.

Every therapeutic relationship is unique and highly personal. The goal is to walk along the path of acknowledgment, compassion, growth, healing, and change in a safe supportive environment. It is in these moments that we can explore, discover, and develop. We focus on self-awareness, emotions, relationships, coping, and harnessing inner peace. Other areas of counseling may include focusing on responsibility, meaning of life, strengths, self-concept, acceptance, and change. As we walk this path, understand, I can do no work for you, but you do not have to do it alone.

Life, huh? It's like trying to untangle a box of Christmas lights without losing your sanity. Life can be a roller coaster ride, filled with twists, turns, and loop-de-loops. Anxiety can be overwhelming, depression can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders, and trauma can have long-lasting effects. Or maybe you struggle with health relationships, substance use, anger management, impulse control, or feel like a mischievous gremlin lives inside you controlling your life. Here's the good news - you don't have to face these challenges alone. I firmly believe in the power of a collaborative, non-judgmental approach.

As individuals, we face some of life’s most difficult challenges on a daily basis. Although we are all different in our life perspectives, we all are all similar in that we may need help in recognizing, and addressing the thoughts, challenges, and barriers that we experience. Processing these issues in a safe and non-judgmental environment allows for the space and time needed to reflect and reclaim. I embrace this perspective as a therapist. Previous clients have shared that my “calm presence” has helped them to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences, and that my “deep perspective” helps to drive change.

Clients often come to me because they feel enslaved to their thoughts. Sometimes they find themselves spending 3-8 hours a day obsessing over fears such as losing loved ones, hurting friends, or acting on unwanted impulses. They want to learn how to be free from having to perform certain rituals or mentally track and replay experiences in order to "neutralize" or prevent some perceived threat. I can help you get there through the gold standard of treatment: CBT and ERP! Listening, caring, and advocating for others is my priority. I am a Christian and live to be an instrument of Jesus' mercy, no matter where you are in your faith.

Compassion Focused Therapists
How does compassion-focused therapy work?
Compassion-Focused Therapy is based on the idea that humans have at least three emotion regulation systems, including one that responds to threats and another that allows us to self-soothe. Those who experienced serious childhood adversity, the theory goes, have a hyperactive threat system and an underperforming self-soothing system, leaving them vulnerable to shame and a hypercritical mindset. CFT focuses on bringing these systems back into balance, helping the client be kinder to themselves and better able to accept kindness from others.
Is compassion-focused therapy a type of CBT?
Compassion-focused therapy is closely related to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and employs many of its techniques. In addition to CBT, CFT also draws from the fields of biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, and Buddhism. It also has similarities to some types of trauma-focused therapies.
Is compassion-focused therapy evidence based?
Evidence suggests that CFT can be helpful in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, psychosis, and other mental illnesses. It has also been shown to be beneficial for individuals who may not have diagnosable psychiatric disorders but who still struggle with persistent self-criticism and feelings of shame.
What are the limitations of compassion-focused therapy?
Compassion-focused therapy is still a relatively new therapy, and research on its efficacy is still in its early stages; while some studies have found positive results, many have suffered from quality issues or small sample sizes. And while most CFT clients find it difficult to practice self-compassion at first, some—especially those who actively fear compassion or are deeply uncomfortable being cared for—may not be fully open to the tenets of CFT, potentially limiting the therapy’s long-term effectiveness.
