Change and growth may feel unwelcome, yet you might find that your usual ways of coping aren’t holding up like they use to. Managing stress and constantly feeling restless is exhausting. Sessions aim to explore formative life experiences and culture to better understand the factors that impact you now and contribute to who you are today. Empathy and self-compassion are the basis of my therapeutic approach where we will focus on building a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. My current focus is working with clients experiencing the life stage transition into adulthood (18-30 y/o) and those reconciling childhood trauma.

My ideal client is a human being that is ready to stop letting their past trauma determine their present state. They will be ready to look deeply and also know we will come up for air if things get too dark. They will have compassion for themselves and also take accountability. They will allow me to help them see that the answers are already inside of them. They will finally become who they are instead of surviving by being what others wanted them to be.

Compassion Focused Therapists
How does compassion-focused therapy work?
Compassion-Focused Therapy is based on the idea that humans have at least three emotion regulation systems, including one that responds to threats and another that allows us to self-soothe. Those who experienced serious childhood adversity, the theory goes, have a hyperactive threat system and an underperforming self-soothing system, leaving them vulnerable to shame and a hypercritical mindset. CFT focuses on bringing these systems back into balance, helping the client be kinder to themselves and better able to accept kindness from others.
Is compassion-focused therapy a type of CBT?
Compassion-focused therapy is closely related to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and employs many of its techniques. In addition to CBT, CFT also draws from the fields of biology, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, developmental psychology, and Buddhism. It also has similarities to some types of trauma-focused therapies.
Is compassion-focused therapy evidence based?
Evidence suggests that CFT can be helpful in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, psychosis, and other mental illnesses. It has also been shown to be beneficial for individuals who may not have diagnosable psychiatric disorders but who still struggle with persistent self-criticism and feelings of shame.
What are the limitations of compassion-focused therapy?
Compassion-focused therapy is still a relatively new therapy, and research on its efficacy is still in its early stages; while some studies have found positive results, many have suffered from quality issues or small sample sizes. And while most CFT clients find it difficult to practice self-compassion at first, some—especially those who actively fear compassion or are deeply uncomfortable being cared for—may not be fully open to the tenets of CFT, potentially limiting the therapy’s long-term effectiveness.
