If you are struggling with an eating disorder, body image, depression and/or anxiety related to pregnancy or postpartum, trying to get pregnant, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, adult ADHD, depression/anxiety not related to childbirth, codependency, substance abuse issues, or major life transitions, I am here to help.
The therapeutic relationship is the key to healing and positive change. That is why it is important that we meet once a week for the first 4 sessions. In my more than 10 years of practice, I have found that the more solid the therapeutic relationship my clients and I have, the greater ease they have in working through their specific challenges.
I practice the belief that to heal from whatever you are struggling with, the practice of self-compassion is the foundation of how you can become more resilient. All things related to motherhood, fatherhood, and parenting are hard. Struggling with an eating disorder is hard. Being in a relationship is hard. And a change of any kind, especially major life transitions, is hard.
Dr. Kristen Neff’s research on self-compassion shows that with her 3 step practice (this is really what I love about it – there are instructions), you can draw strength from within yourself and move through that place of pain.
So, the more connected you are to yourself, the more connected you can become to others.
Our culture focuses on the importance of independence. And yes, becoming autonomous, and taking responsibility for yourself and your actions are important. But not at the expense of disconnection. You don’t have to live independent relationally of others. It isn’t about independence versus dependence. It is really about interdependence.
While I am working with you, allowing non-judgemental space for you to share your story, I will guide you through the process of self-compassion. Laying the foundation for you to observe, acknowledge, and build on your strengths, radically accept your humanness, and live your life authentically.
