Many people feel lost in the rhythms and uncertainties of life. Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, hurt, confusion and anxiety can overwhelm our ability to live life deeply. Sometimes our usual patterns of living are no longer working. Other times sudden changes, such as world events, a loss, life transition, trauma, or a diagnosis swamp our emotional resources. The surfacing of past events such as abuse, grief, or accidents may stop us in our tracks. These are just some of the situations that can create barriers to living the life we want, and send us searching for deeper meaning, connection and belonging.
I believe that change is possible and that healing takes place in safe relationships. I approach the experience of others with warmth and curiosity. My training has given me tools for increasing personal awareness, processing negative events, and experimenting with new ways of living.
I hope to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and toward becoming more fully you. Even though this process can be scary and intimidating, you do not have to do this alone! If you are interested in learning more, or to see if I may be a good fit for you, feel free to contact me.
