Ideally, our early experiences of connection were secure, safe, accessible, and responsive and we developed an internal sense of ourselves as loveable, worthy, and deserving of getting our needs met. But what happens when this has not been our experience? Many of us have had to find ways to adapt and survive moments of disconnect, invalidation, or criticism. This can often mean we hold beliefs about ourselves that are limiting, worry that we have to hide or minimize parts of who we are, deny certain emotions, hustle for our worth, and/or build up layers of protection. I can support you to heal, connect and create lasting change.
I work with couples to create greater security, openness, and connection. Sessions include slowing down your dance, exploring misses and unmet needs, healing old wounds, deepening emotional intimacy, and making space for the contrasting strategies you have for managing relationship distress. I am skilled in working with military couples and military life.
With individuals, I welcome all parts of you so you don’t have to check your needs, personhood, or emotions at the door. I can support you in exploring moments of disconnection or invalidation, unprocessed emotional wounds, patterns of protection, and limiting beliefs and then guide you in using them as opportunities for profound healing, growth, and peace.
