It’s difficult, even scary, to ask for what you need. Many of us don’t even know how to identify our needs. Maybe you’ve never been allowed to express them or been made to feel like you’re not valuable enough to have them. It’s not your fault. But it can lead to problems. Those needs get expressed somehow, often is ways we regret or don’t understand, ways that cause harm – feeling perpetually exhausted or overwhelmed, avoiding emotions, arguing, or disengaging from relationships and yourself.
I pair body-based approaches with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting to address patterns in our nervous system. DBT offers healthy coping skills and a framework to understand and change behaviors. Both improve the awareness of and connection to your body.
Everyone has the capacity for growth, healing and change. I provide compassionate, healing space to figure out your needs and rebuild trust in yourself. If you’re ready to make a change, I’m here to partner with you.
