Are you someone who finds it challenging to navigate emotional intimacy or often puts others' needs before your own? Perhaps you struggle with processing your own emotions, feel guilty for feeling down even when things look good on the outside, or worry about being a burden when expressing your needs. If you’re a people-pleaser who tends to self-sacrifice and finds it hard to prioritize your own well-being, I’m here to help.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I support my clients in building healthier boundaries, learning to prioritize their own needs, and feeling more comfortable in themselves and their relationships. Together, we’ll work on creating a balance where you can honor your own emotions and needs while fostering deeper, more fulfilling connections with others. If you’re ready to take a step toward greater self-acceptance and more authentic relationships, I’m here to guide you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe in supporting you in living your best life, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach. I am adept at navigating complex and challenging situations and feel honored to walk alongside clients during their darkest moments, offering calm and compassion throughout the journey.

My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

In my work, I incorporate compassion-focused practices to help clients cultivate a deeper sense of care for themselves and others. This involves integrating mindfulness techniques that foster relaxation and gratitude, allowing you to develop a nurturing attitude towards yourself. Through guided meditations and compassionate thought exercises, we explore ways to enhance self-compassion and empathy for others. By focusing on these practices, you can build a greater awareness of both yourself and those around you, facilitating a more compassionate and balanced approach to navigating life's challenges.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

In my practice, I use mindfulness-based techniques to help clients navigate pain, anxiety, anger, depression, and other challenging emotions. By exploring the intricate relationship between your thoughts, physical sensations, and mood, we work together to build a greater sense of peace and understanding. I guide you in bringing awareness to how your thoughts influence your bodily experiences and emotional states, and vice versa. This approach is particularly effective for managing trauma, stress, and anxiety. Techniques like body scans, emotional exploration, and tuning into physical sensations play a crucial role in this process. They help you connect more deeply with your inner experiences, fostering healing and resilience. Through this mindful awareness, you can develop effective strategies for managing difficult emotions and enhance your overall well-being.

Somatic

I use somatic approaches to help you build awareness of and respect for your body. Through sensation-based practices, I guide you in managing difficult emotions and memories, helping you connect more deeply with your physical experiences. My focus is on making you feel comfortable in your body and teaching you how to use bodily sensations as valuable guidance in your healing journey. These practices are particularly effective for healing trauma and regulating emotions, giving you greater insight and control over your emotional and physical well-being.
