Have people told you: You're too hard on yourself? And you've thought: "it's just how I am!" But you find yourself exhausted and your inner-dialog is negative and critical -your mood is down and distressed. If you find yourself being easily triggered, can't relax or spend productive alone time, I can help by introducing you to the Kind Coach inside yourself. Everyone has one. In 18 years of therapy practice it's clear to me: the barriers to healing & inviting good self-care and happiness are linked to our inner voice. Changing from critical to kind, changes everything. Let's help you uncover and love your best self!
By becoming still and focused in session we can notice and learn from the information your own body & mind provides to name and release old negative habits and beliefs like distraction, overthinking, worry and pleasing that keep us from truly knowing and understanding ourselves. CBT, mindfulness, somatic and trauma release protocols are my specialties.
Starting out in therapy can be very intimidating. You're asked to share and uncover things you may not know were blocking your healing and happiness. I can deeply respect your inner world and safety pace. After all, the goal of much of our work will be to re-discover a safe comfortable home inside your own heart, body and mind with your best self.
Changing our inner narrative and beliefs about ourselves from critical to kind - changes everything: depression, anxiety, how we relate to trauma triggering, relationships, body image, career intentions - everything. I'd like to help you be the kind coach inside yourself.
