About
Naming a feeling is surprisingly powerful - it actually helps begin to release its grip on you.
I came to this work because of an early inclination toward compassion and seeking truth. I realized that most people including myself were not taught in childhood to appreciate our emotions. As a clinical psychologist, I work with you to acknowledge feelings and needs, and guide you through challenging terrain. In the process, clients often understand the root of patterns in their life, develop self-compassion, and make changes that are in sync with their values.
