Existing in this modern world can be a complex and overwhelming experience. Messages of perfectionism and achievement are all around us. These messages can trigger developmental trauma, facilitating the experience of sadness, apathy, inferiority, and hopelessness in our lives.  Shame can encourage thoughts and feelings of worthlessness and self-loathing that promote behaviors that we do not want to participate in, yet we find ourselves feeling stuck with. Why do we feel this shame? Why do we feel so weak? Will we ever feel joy again? How can we empower ourselves to begin stepping out of the shadows and into the light?

​

I work individually with clients to discover the root of shame that can fuel depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. Together we can partner to change maladaptive narratives into a strength-based versions that more constructively allow for forward movement, belief in self, the experience of joy, and the ability to foster healthy relationships with loved ones.

Shame can steal entire lives. You do not have to feel this way forever, and you are deserving of inner peace and contentment. If any of this feels familiar to you, I warmly invite you to reach out. You are worthy of a beautiful life, and I look forward to meeting you.
