Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) emphasizes utilizing compassion to understand yourself and the people around you. It’s a good option for people dealing with shame or self-criticism that causes emotional distress.
Developing compassion for yourself and others requires practice. Practicing self-compassion exercises can help you manage shame and guilt, which can help you develop compassion for the people around you.

My interest in Marriage and Family Therapy stems from a desire to fill a gap that was present in my own community. Having had experiences where an unbiased sounding board could have been pivotal in navigating unstable relationships, I set a path that allowed me to be the change I wanted to see. The general philosophy that anchors my practice is “building healthy relationships one story at a tim...
In my practice, I see that most mental suffering arises from losing touch with our own innate goodness, strength, wisdom, and resilience. This can happen from trauma and through receiving messages of our inherent unworthiness throughout our lives. Together, we can rediscover your inherent worth and confidence by finding the blocks in your psyche and loosening them through communication and...
