Are you more critical of yourself than you are of anyone else? It's hard to feel fulfilled in your work and relationships if you are beating yourself up inside. When you begin to take a more gentle stance towards yourself, it's amazing how much energy you can free up. I will use mindfulness and IFS (Internal Family Systems) strategies to help you 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..." quote by Maya Angelou. When you truly become a friend to yourself, you will discover more joy and notice positive changes in many aspects of your life.
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.
