We have big emotions, intrusive thoughts, and body sensations that can be fucking scary. Yet, we hide that and push them way down deep and hope it doesn’t bubble up. Having emotions, thoughts and sensations are NORMAL, and healthy. But that can add an extra layer of shit when you are already dealing with your identities, relationships, or stressors! Don't do it alone, I'm here to navigate the ick with you.
It's important to slow down, connect our mind and body to understand ourselves, and really heal. Show up, be present where you are currently. I offer an eclectic approach to meet your needs; such as Vibroacoustic to activate the vagus nerve, and Neurofeedback to reorganize brain's responses and decrease symptoms (anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma).
If this resonates with you, I fully understand and can honestly say I've been there too. I identify as Neurodivergent, queer, human, and probably overly genuine. But, hey, I'm here for the journey if you are! Send me an email to get started. My availability is 7am-3pm Monday-Thursday.
