Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, or poor self-esteem?

Do you struggle with an "inner critic" telling you that you are not good enough?  

Do you sometimes struggle to just get through the day?

Does turning on the news makes you want to burrow back into bed or hide under a rock?

These are challenging times for many of us. The strategies we have used to manage life, to handle our feelings, don't seem to be working anymore. How can we move forward with strength, grace, and ease?

Using mindfulness, we can begin to build our internal resilience to meet the challenges of life. It is possible to become the strong, wise, caring person who can meet life with both the strength to move forward and the compassionate, caring attitude to hold ourselves and those we care about in gentleness. Or as Tara Brach, well known meditation teacher, puts it: We can learn to develop "a soft front and a strong back." 

As a Certified Self-Compassion Informed Therapist, I am trained to help you cultivate the inner strength and flexibility you need to meet life's challenges without losing yourself. Learning to work with strong emotions like fear and anxiety, even anger, we can harness the strength we need to stand for ourselves and those we care about without losing heart. 

If you would like to embark on this journey, contact me. I offer free 15-minute consultations so that we can explore your situation together and decide if my approach would be a good fit for you.
