The practice of self-compassion helps us to hold our pain in a more kind and gentle way - like we might do for a dear friend or loved one - bringing a warmth and care that helps us move through pain with greater ease and to, over time, build resilience.

Compassion is the acceptance of and softening to the pain inevitably experienced in life. I completed my Mindful Self-Compassion teacher training through UCSD’s Center for Mindfulness and teach MSC classes both in person and online, and have served as support staff for MSC intensive retreats in the US and Canada and as a consultation group facilitator for the Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy Certificate (SCiP) Program and am also a certified Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities teacher. After years of mindfulness meditation practice, I found my way to MSC and it deepened the practice in profound ways. In addition to my work as a therapist, I am also a certified Mindful-Self Compassion teacher.
