“Learning to love and be kind to ourselves is a lifelong journey.”
-Brené Brown
Whether you’re seeking a space to grow, heal, or learn more about yourself, I’d love to hear your story and partner with you on your journey.
You find it easy to be kind to others but not so easy to be kind to yourself. You’re high achieving but continue to shy away from things. You feel like you can’t silence your inner critic and wish you understood why.
It feels like there’s a disconnect between what you think and how you feel. You try to talk yourself out of it and convince yourself to feel otherwise. Despite your efforts, it seems like you can’t quite bridge the gap.
Maybe you feel like stuff from your past keeps creeping in without a welcomed invitation. This leaves you feeling stuck, and oftentimes, hard on yourself. When this happens, the burden of your past feels even heavier for you to carry.
If any of this sounds familiar, I am here to help.

One of the most important parts about therapy is discovering if there is a good fit between you and your therapist. I’d like to invite you to read more about my approach to therapy and the services provided at PGP.

Has your inner critic been doing life with you for a long time? I hear this a lot. Therapy can help you explore how your inner critic has shown up in the past, as well as how it continues to get in your way. With practice, it is possible to respond to your experiences in a more mindful and compassionate way.
