Ready to enter your healing era? Maybe you've decided that you want to be kinder to yourself, you're tired of listening to your harsh inner critic, or you have heard of self-compassion and want to learn more about it. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or burnout, I hope to help ease your burden. I am passionate about working with fellow healthcare workers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and others who are hard on themselves. I also work with folks who have been harmed by diet culture and may be trying to repair their relationship with their bodies through body neutrality or body liberation.
For the "pathological people-pleasers" who excel at helping others but struggle to do the same for themselves, I offer Self-Compassion Informed Psychotherapy. I aim to help you develop a kinder and more supportive relationship with yourself, so that you have the capacity to continue to help others, and be able to the things that are most meaningful to you.
Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, especially if your plate is already full. But, it is also an act of courage that can get you unstuck and moving towards change. Whether you’re ready to schedule an appointment or have questions about my approach, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.
