My Approach

Getting to the heart of what’s troubling you…

Let me guess. You’re here because you’re stuck in anxiety and self-criticism.

Having been anxious and unhappy much of my life too, I discovered how to heal from the inside out.

Peace builds when you accept your hurts, pains, and weaknesses.

In our work, I’ll help you peel away the self-hatred and worry. At first it’s uncomfortable, but then it feels freeing.

You’ll witness how love and understanding replace the doubt and fear in your heart.

By sharing my genuine curiosity about you, you’ll learn how to uncover the love you’ve had for yourself all along.

Issues with your parents?

Growing up your parents criticized you and ignored your desires.

After years of this, you grew numb to your body, and your body became tight in turn.

Now, you don’t know who you are or what you need.

On top of that, it’s impossible to feel relaxed or comfortable.

In your therapy with me, I’ll provide the compassion and understanding you desperately needed as a child, so you can reclaim your life.

Difficulty being intimate with your partner?

It’s hard to share how you feel with your partner — in bed or in conversation.

Adult intimacy is difficult because we mimic what we observed as children.

While your parents were yelling or giving the silent treatment, you soaked in their behaviors.

Now it’s hard to tell your loved one what you want.

Without judgment, I’ll teach you how to replace these well-worn, maladaptive patterns with healthier ones.

Overwhelmed by your emotions?

Highly sensitive people can go 0-60 in the blink of an eye.

I know this from experience.

Developing self-awareness around how activated you are can help you stay calm.

With this inner-steadiness, you can chase after your dreams.

I’ll teach you how to build your own self-soothing practice.

Stuck in a cycle of shame?

Whether intentionally or not, your parents taught you to feel ashamed of yourself.

Sleepless nights spent ruminating over your mistakes are just one example of how this shows up for you.

But who you are and how you feel can be accepted with compassion.

I’ll help you understand why you behaved as you did, so you can let go of the past.

Most importantly, I’ll help you understand why there is nothing wrong with feeling how you feel.

This isn’t “traditional therapy”

We won’t spend years intellectualizing your issues and blaming your parents for everything.

I’ll help you listen to yourself and become the expert on your internal world.

With that wisdom, you’ll be able to take meaningful steps forward in your life.

Additionally, you’ll get to work with a real human being — not some “blank screen” you’ll never know.

If helpful, I’ll share my own experiences with you. You’ll get the knowledge and wisdom I’ve fought hard to gain.

This is my Empowering Empaths Method.

It consists of three parts.

1. I’ll provide the attuned emotional experience you needed, but didn’t get as a child.

By deeply listening and caring about your feelings, needs, and desires, you’ll learn in a profound way that you’re:

Valid.

Worthwhile.

And Lovable.

2. I’ll use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you reconnect with your hurt, strength, and unconditional love for yourself…

So you can release years of pent up suffering.

3. I’ll teach you the communication skills and self-soothing practices you need to have stellar boundaries and fulfilling relationships.

It’s an approach specially made for you, the Empath.

Go ahead and exhale.

You’ve gotten this far. I’m proud of you.

Just bring yourself. Your emotions are welcome.

If you’re here, you’re ready.
