Compassion's Way Counseling

Introduction: I work from a collaborative perspective, so I treat my clients as if they are human beings instead of patients. I bring confidence, compassion, and clarity into the session as we explore your deeper needs and make connections between the past and present, discuss plans for the future, and explore aspects of your life from a different perspective. Whatever we end up doing, the goal is to help you. I mold my approach in an integrative way to fit each client individually. The methods I use follow the latest research on interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing. As serious as all of that sounds, it's worth mentioning that I'm an easy going person who likes a good laugh. There's always room for having fun in therapy, as surprising as that may sound. There are a few reasons I love being a psychotherapist. First, I find it to be an honor and privilege to play a part in the stories of my clients. Also, I cannot think of a more rewarding career, one that is designed solely to decrease suffering and improve quality of life. Finally, I celebrate those moments where I see hope in the eyes of a client, or a recognition of her own greatness, or a long-abandoned hearty laugh. There’s nothing I’d rather do with my life. I consider myself so lucky to do this job.
