Nice to meet you
My view of people was shaped in childhood by two cultural touchstones: Fred Rogers and the album Free to Be, You and Me. Helping people work through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and life’s many stressors begins with reconnecting them to their inherent worth. I see my role as coming alongside clients and supporting them as they move forward with greater self-compassion and resilience. As clients heal from current challenges, they often develop the flexibility and insight needed to reduce future suffering related to depression, anxiety, bipolar conditions, and trauma.
