What if you could deeply connect with people, trust yourself fully, and wake up excited for life? Difficult life events led you to coping in ways that were vital for surviving in the past, but now they are holding you back from living the life you want. I offer the opportunity for change. I can help you understand these protective parts of yourself, and gain a deeper Self awareness. By working together, we can heal the parts of you that are stuck in the past, and have kept you from moving forward. These parts show up as addiction, anxiety, depression, & self sabotage to distract from the pain beneath.
I can help, because I have been there, and found a path to healing. My approach is founded in nonjudgmental compassion with advanced training in Internal Family Systems & Polyvagal Theory. It has been life changing for myself, my loved ones, and the people I serve. I offer the possibility of real change, and to become your authentic best Self.
If you are reading this, I already know you want more out of life. I know you have courage, resiliency, and humility because you are seeking help, and have not given up. If you are ready to take the next step, to understand every part of yourself, to heal the burdens of your past, and to embrace living your best life, contact me. I welcome all of you.
