I work with individuals and couples who want to create deep, lasting change and heal emotional wounds. I join with clients to help you get unstuck, so you can stop repeating cycles or patterns of negative emotion, confusion and conflict. I will listen so that you feel heard, seen, valued and understood. Then I will guide you to take insight into experience by processing stuck emotional pain and healing old emotional wounds through embodied experience in the session, so you can advance and deepen your relationships. I offer hope and fellowship and my sincere regard for the emergence of your authentic self.
We'll use experiential and relational models to get "beneath the story" to emotions, so you can feel your feelings in a way that is safe, validating and releasing. Our conversation is a "compassionate inquiry" into the nature of your trouble, the experience of it in your life, in your mind, in your body, and its origins, as well as the path forward.
My clients are people like you, they are smart, sincere, and generous people who are often good communicators, but they struggle with the anxiety of feeling judged, feeling "lesser than", people pleasing, feeling shame, anger, detached, disconnected or self-sabotaging. I deeply value my clients words, their stories, their emotional states, and their insight
