Identifying energy-draining mental habits and self-defeating behaviors is a major first step but it doesn't alleviate them. Ready to feel better aligned with yourself? I can help. Whether you’re on your first or fifth therapist, you don't need to rehash memories of childhood or adverse events to resolve how past experiences have negatively affected you. Research (Gendlin) reveals that somatic mindfulness (your "felt experience") is the gateway to lasting, transformational shifts. By working in ways that respect the brain-body-mind relationship you can see, think, and act beyond the limits of intellectualizing as your embodied self.
Every aspect of your unique self is welcome! The destigmatizing effect of somatic language directly befriends the nervous system allowing it to shift more fluidly and resiliently between activated and calm states. Trust in what the body is saying aligns us with authentic self-expression over people-pleasing, overthinking, indecisiveness, creative block etc.
Survival patterns eventually stop being effective and even get in our way because it's like new hardware running on obsolete software. Not to worry. The neuroplasticity that enables brains to change in response to overwhelming adversity also allows them to recover and evolve. I'm energized to meet you in this space of readiness and to offer you more.
