I believe we all have behaviors, vices and patterns that get in the way of living in a way that is rich in meaning and purpose. I care deeply about helping people explore their patterns of getting their needs met, from a place of non-judgement and compassion. I integrate relational neuroscience with an understanding of how substances and painful experiences intersect leading to feeling stuck, alone and exacerbate suffering.
I utilize a foundation within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help folks get clear on what matters most to them, and take steps NOW, not when things settle down, or the chaos reduces, or the overwhelm decreases. I value utilizing understanding of the brain and nervous systems to help understand why we do what we do without the veil of shame.
I operate from a place of the human condition - that we all know pain, we are all hurting, and the exact nature of those experiences are deeply individualized and impacted by culture, family of origin, and lack of feeling known. I would be honored to come along side you to offer support and gentleness, so that your system can begin to feel soothed and seen.
