Compassionately Grounded Therapy

Therapy might feel really weird at first!
-that’s totally normal , it’s a new environment after all. It may take a while for you to get used to , and it’s okay if you don’t feel immediately comfortable. Remember to give yourself grace and to let your therapist know how you’re feeling! Give yourself time to get comfortable with the process ✨

🌿I Love Helping People Learn About Themselves.
🌿 Laughter- Yes, there are tears and scrunched up tissue at times, but there is probably more laughter in the therapy room than you would think. As a relationship builds between my clients and me, we are able to laugh together. You want to be yourself with your Therapist, and be able to feel intensity, but at the same time feel a light-hardheartedness and positive energy when you're in the therapy room. The therapy room is an uplifting place, and it is YOUR space--not mine.
🌿Witnessing a client’s Growth- This is my absolute my favorite part of the Therapy process. I often see clients at their most desperate and lowest point in their lives. There are feelings of shame, unworthiness, sadness, anger, and hopelessness. But, over time, we work together so you can RISE. You are the one doing the work, and busting through blocks, barriers, and hard stuff in your life. You are the one pursuing the better you, the stronger you, the resilient you.
