If it feels like your nervous system and personal history is running the show, triggering your reactions and hijacking your responses, you’ve come to the right place. Work with me to master your personal alarm system and build healthier ways of self-regulating and responding. We'll look across your lifespan to understand how patterns developed, then focus on the change you deserve. - Learn to cultivate time out of fight, flight and freeze - Learn the art of healthy boundaries - Learn to support your nervous system and communicate clearly. Ready to stop reacting and start responding?
Learn to understand your triggers; befriend your nervous system; communicate your needs and boundaries for healthier relationships; make sense of - and heal - the past; and feel at peace and empowered in the present.
I experienced enormous personal growth in my own therapy journey and am passionate about sharing this growth potential with you on your journey.
