Unconscious relational patterns, expectations, and beliefs about ourselves and others develop. Unfortunately, many of these ways of being interfere with creating satisfying lives and relationships. Our habituated patterns can be constricting, or lead to troubling behaviors or symptoms.

I believe every human being has an innate capacity to heal and the internal wisdom to do so. However, they need tools and guidance to access those resources. That is why my clients and I co-create a space that is safe, trauma informed and tailored to their individual needs. In that container, we uncover their particular gifts, talents and wisdom as we heal wounds from trauma and we decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression and excessive stress. Clients learn tools that they can take with them for the rest of their lives, this way increasing their capacity for healing outside of therapy.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― C. Rogers I firmly believe that having a space to process and plan, albeit uncomfortable a times, translates to healing and a more fulfilling life. An understanding of ourselves brings forth self-compassion, self-awareness and alignment between goals and day-to-day actions.As we become attuned to our true selves and our vision for our lives we can foster better personal and professional relationships.

You are a quirky, creative spirit seeking out your place in this world. You love the path you’re on. But sometimes you feel alone, alienated, or overwhelmed by the world around you. Sometimes a feeling of emptiness, meaninglessness, fear, or uncertainty, keeps you up at night. You ask yourself, “why am I here? And what should my life be about?” You wonder about how to put your unique gifts to their best use. And how you might come to feel less alone as you learn to do so. Sometimes you still worry that you might just be too weird to find the kind of community, loving relationships, inner peace or success you are seeking.
