I have experienced firsthand therapy’s potential to help someone move from cycles of anxiety, depression, self-loathing, doubt, addictions, trauma, and despair to a place of openness, vulnerability, courage, and deeper connection to self, others, and the collective universe we share. And, as a result of my own life experience, I know that healing is not linear; that everyone’s journey is unique; and that the more we can invite reserves of compassion, acceptance, even humor to our own predicaments, while enlisting the support of a compassionate helper, the better we are able to heal and grow into the best version of ourselves. There is no set time-frame or path for anyone’s unique healing. There is no one’s journey that is quite like yours. I’m here to explore with you what your life’s path towards healing might look like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e8e68a12f9066f29f8847/a791793e-60cc-4eb8-95ce-bb79c2ce960b/Inner+Compassion+logo_for+WEB.png About Stephen - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e8e68a12f9066f29f8847/1631047659512-I7DX9WODVDLANJWAV8Y0/avi-richards-fvp40XPr0Ak-unsplash.jpg About Stephen - What about joy? Some things that nourish me and bring me joy include— Time spent in nature, time moving my body, time with friends, time spent alone… Music, dancing, laughing; eating, drinking, breathing; dogs, clouds, trees, watching animals in nature; movies, tv, and books; wondering, wandering, journaling and jamming; being silly, being quiet, making noise; being in water in the summer, being cozy in the winter; moving fast, being still; adventures outward, journeys inward. Being a weird human creature and finding connection with other weird, wonderful human creatures.

Generally speaking, trauma occurs when someone lives through an intense, potentially life-threatening event—for example, a car crash, rape or other acts of violence, natural disaster, serious illness. Trauma can also occur from the death of a loved one, or witnessing a traumatic event second-hand. Further, a type of trauma called complex trauma can occur from the accumulation of smaller incidents that accrue over time. This frequently occurs in a relational dynamic, such as in someone’s family, romantic relationships, or wider social circles—for example, emotional abuse, neglect, and persistent bullying—as well as from financial insecurity and the inability to have one’s basic needs met (food, sleep, shelter, social acceptance). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612e8e68a12f9066f29f8847/1631038807778-WTDTJ1KQ2ZE6XW3X10V1/priscilla-du-preez-F9DFuJoS9EU-unsplash.jpg PTSD Treatment and Trauma Therapy I am an experienced clinician who utilizes an eclectic approach to working with PTSD and trauma.

I want you to know you’re not alone in feeling grief, angst, fear, despair. We can find connection and solace in the fact that we’re actually not alone in our suffering; we’re intimately connected through the suffering in our external world. If you’re feeling grief and anxiety about the state of the world, and wondering where to start, where you can bring about healing and change, the answer might lie in coming into deeper, more authentic relationship with your own self and others around you. I believe the road to collective transformation requires a revolution of the self, which emanates outward through how we show up in our lives. We’re truly in this together.
