“You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.”

Claiming our agency. Cultivating our self-compassion

Individual and family therapy for children, teens, young adults and adults.

We are all deserving of wellness and connection.

Yet, in today’s society, there can be numerous barriers that make realizing those things a struggle. 

From our early childhood relationships and experiences to the media we consume on a daily basis, we witness and internalize a number of different narratives or “social stories” that may help or hinder our movement towards wellness and connection. Even the most unhelpful narratives may seek to keep us safe, though sometimes they can outlive their usefulness and cause disruption and dysfunction in our lives, or move us further from our goals.

That you’re here means you may be facing some of these challenges yourself and looking for ways to navigate them. It is vulnerable and brave to recognize when you might benefit from support, and I applaud you for reaching out. 

"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
