My Ideal Client

Most approaches to fighting or deflecting shame are a losing battle that only reinforce the feeling that we are never good enough. I would love to support you with shifting your system of self-esteem and self-efficacy. We will build a new way of relating to yourself with care, acceptance, and flexibility. This way will offer relief from the fight you have been in for some time, and you will learn to embrace yourself with the acceptance that you have been yearning for for even longer.

My Approach to Helping

Everyone has subtle (or not-so-subtle) tendencies that backfire on us from time to time despite our best efforts. This can lead to an undercurrent of pain, which runs different ways. Perhaps you wish people could see all the ways you are trying. Maybe you feel the kick of motivation to compensate for your faults to earn the acceptance you desire. Or maybe you become harsh with yourself and withdraw to protect yourself from hurting others. Proving yourself feels like endless disappointment. I believe that flaws and failures do not dictate our worth, but I recognize that we likely received that messaging from an early age, throughout schooling, and from our loved ones. To unlearn these conditions of worth is not simple, but it can start with my unconditional support of you. My approach is both direct and forgiving. I believe in balancing theoretical insights with practical experiences in our sessions, so you leave knowing what you need and how to do it.

  • Self-Esteem External link

    We are constantly measured up against standards, against others, and against societal expectations. Our inability to be perfect at all times is very human, yet somehow we continue to hold ourselves against perfection. It becomes unbearable to disappoint others, to fail, and to confront our shortcomings. This can manifest in our relationships and how we feel about growth. For so many people, their troubles boil down to a core fear of not being enough. This is where I love to work.
