I believe that living your life authentically is a core of life satisfaction. Sometimes our suffering, loss, or worry makes us avoid living in a truly authentic way.

I won't push people to relive bad experiences, but I will work to establish a safe space to share and explore your needs at your own pace.

"Communication is the key to a healthy relationship." Ever heard this before? One of the most talked about subjects when it comes to romantic relationships is communication. But what about it? How can couples have good communication and create a healthy relationship? So much time is spent investing in finding the right person only to have difficulties and a breakdown in communication and ultimately the union. One of the most important relationships in our lives is our romantic relationship. Learning to understand each other and develop that deep emotional connection and lasting bond is one of the tasks that couples face.

It is so exhausting living inside a traumatized body and mind. Anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere; thoughts, feelings, and the overwhelm of re-experiencing events. Feelings of unsafety or a constant need to be hyperaware. Insomnia, changes in appetite make matters worse because the body and mind don't get the needed fuel and rest leading to cycles of collapse. The anxiety and collapse cycle can cause us to feel disconnected from ourselves, loved ones and the world. We can lose trust in our own judgment and ability to heal. My approach is informed by a holistic integration of practices to help reconnect mind, body and soul.
