Perhaps you identify as being "highly sensitive". Maybe you're feeling anxious, or depressed, or have a sense of unworthiness. You may be having difficulty managing stress. Therapy is an opportunity to work with an understanding guide, who creates a safe, supportive and collaborative environment in the face of these challenges. Being that guide is my passion. I will help you expand your "toolkit", while developing self-understanding, self-compassion, and connection to your own values, strengths, and wisdom. “Suffering is our call to attention, our call to investigate the truth of our beliefs.” - Tara Brach
