“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.” Frederick Buechner Your emotionally or otherwise traumatic past has taught you that you need to numb your emotions, engage in people-pleasing behavior, judge yourself harshly, and hide parts of yourself in order to get by. I specialize in helping clients identify how past hurts and the resulting coping strategies are keeping them stuck in painful patterns. I then help them tend to their pain so they can increase their sense of self-compassion, build more trust and connection in their most important relationships, and clarify what really matters to them in their lives.
