More about Aaron

  • 1 year's experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

My mission is to gently help others turn toward their pain and brokenness instead of running from it. I support individuals through self-compassion therapy, helping them learn to sit with difficult emotions—even the overwhelming ones. By embracing these emotions, we begin the healing process. As we heal, we make peace with the past, invite joy into the present, and slowly start to feel whole again—reconnecting with our true selves and others with deeper understanding, empathy, and self-awareness.
