To live is to feel pain in its various expressions. Our relationships with our family systems are often the blueprint by which we respond to the experience. Certain responses can result in experiences of depression, anxiety, or the habitual urge to numb ourselves. The ability to experience, hold space for, and then release our pain is the path to healing; where your heart and mind stop fighting and arrive together finding acceptance, peace, and understanding. "The climb might be tough and challenging, but the view is worth it. There is a purpose for that pain; you just can’t always see it right away." – Victoria Arlen.
I would describe myself as a heart-centered therapist who works from a “bottom-up” perspective, driven by a passion for universal truth, human connection, congruence, & nurturance of self-worth and core wounds. My foundation is grounded upon Systems Theory, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, Somatic/Polyvagal Theory, & Mindfulness.
With great respect for the therapeutic process, I welcome you to explore your internal landscape, foster curiosity and attune to the relationship with your physical & emotional experience, and release the weight on your heart or learn to hold it gently, in an endeavor to promote alignment of your truth within internal, social, & family systems.
