Do you feel like you're maintaining or surviving, rather than thriving? Maybe you're not sure what the next step is, but you know you want to feel less stress, anxiety, and fear and more peace, joy, and confidence. I believe that many distressing feelings are often responses to a world that tries to tell us who we are and who we should be, through inherited belief systems, culture, relationships, experiences of trauma, and systems of oppression. I love working w/ people to reveal what those stories are, the meanings you've held in them, and how to discover and make space for the self inside you that felt small, boxed in, or stuck.
There is wisdom within you that has helped you survive, and we will engage with that wisdom to guide us where to go and at what pace. I take an active role in this and you won't be alone. Learning how to connect and relate to yourself in new ways, you can write your own story, centered around what truly matters to you.
Creating a space where you feel seen, cared for and held with dignity is essential for healing to occur and is the foundation of my approach. I often bring mindfulness practices to this work and am also trained in Level 2 Lifespan Integration, a gentle, body-based therapeutic method which heals without re-traumatizing.
