I love working with adults who want to get curious about the ways their past affects their present. From our first moments of life, we learn to adapt to our circumstances and adjust our behaviors to maintain safety and security with others. Many of us have found along the way that our emotions, needs, or wants were "too much" for the people we turned to for connection and protection. As a result we may have come to believe that we had to hide parts of ourselves in order to be loved or cared for. Over time, this hiding can lead to feelings of distress, anxiety, depression, shame, relationship challenges, and even chronic pain.
Together we will work to understand and welcome the parts of you that have been hidden, and help you find new ways to be empowered and engaged in this world and connected to your truest self. I will guide your deep exploration using an integrative, experiential approach that incorporates attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and depth psychology.
If you are interested in creating collaborative, curious, compassionate relationships with yourself and others, please reach out!
