Past experiences can haunt you and contribute to overwhelming emotions that derail your best intentions and interfere with your goals, dreams, and connections with others. Interpersonal relationships are challenging enough without societal pressures, less-than-helpful norms and legacies, and problematic environments that make us feel devalued or ashamed. I also understand the unique challenges of life as a creative. Asking for help is tough, but building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself, others, and your nervous system is even tougher without support. You've already taken the hardest step. Don't stop now!
We will collaborate to create an individualized trauma-informed experience to facilitate healing, drawing on multiple modalities, including Mindfulness, Somatic, Relational, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Expressive Arts. I combine Southern warmth, New York directness, and a dash of West Coast vibes. Firmly rooted in Anti-Racist Intersectional Feminism. Queer Ally.
Let's work together to tap into your resilience and build Mindfulness and Radical Acceptance of how you are now so you can make thoughtful choices moving toward who you want to be. Individuals, Couples, Partners in non-monogamous relationships, and Co-Parents. Parenting support and Group Therapy. All are welcome here. In-person, telehealth. Let's Chat!
