The loops we live in are the glass ceiling of our life: loops are the patterns, embodied and enacted, that characterize our life. Loops are an inevitable and necessary component of human experience. However, when loops are not working for us, we become limited by them, keeping us feeling stuck, trapped, disempowered, and confused. Owning our loops allows us to own our life. Common loops include: trauma, addiction, relationship dynamics, mood, beliefs, and identity. Push beyond your limiting loops to discover who you are and what your life can be.
Deeply influenced by somatic and existential approaches to therapy, I collaborate to embrace and motivate the whole person. Strongly rooted in Somatic Experiencing and mindful self-inquiry, I draw on a variety of approaches that support the restoration of an individual's inherent wholeness.
See the loops that define your life and how to affect them. Cultivate self-awareness of parts, patterns, and sensation while gaining insight into how these aspects of our self express in a felt way through the nested domains of experience, from the base level of nervous system, through fields of emotion and relationship, up to our core beliefs and identity.
